It is doable. It would have to be a daemonplugin with the event_listener attribute set toTRUE. you could then track when events happened in an eventhandler and then use the poll method of the dameonplugin to see when the last event happened and call the screensaver if that value is larger than your threshhold. And of course putting something in eventhandler for you to wakeup and kill the screemsaver when you recieve and event (since it may come from lirc and the screensaver may not get out of the way.)
Only two real big issues with this: 1. I have had reports that the daemonplugins setup like this won't recieve events if you are in the main menu. (gonna have to see if that's true later, not at home now) 2. It would only work for people with X11 based setups, unless there are console based fb screensavers. I guess we could try to force screen blanking in fb setups -- Mike Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://world.std.com/~mruelle/ On Mon, 2003-12-29 at 19:36, Mick wrote: > Anyone thought about adding a screensaver to freevo?
