Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.21-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
xscreensaver turns off the funky graphics if it detects that the monitor is off. Unfortunately, this checking happens not often enough. Currently, it happens after 0.6*cycle time, so if you cycle your demo every 20min, it might take up to 12 minutes to detect that the monitor is turned off. I have a laptop, and when running on battery, I turn off the monitor (by closing the lid) to save power. I expect xscreensaver to detect this quicker. The attaced patch fixed the checking cycle time at 30s (which was the former minimum). Thanks for including it, if possible.
