[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 906987] Re: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option
@Sarvatt, is there anything we should do on the -synaptics end for this bug? When we looked at the issue previously it did not seem like XRecord was easily fixable for this usage; are there any new ideas on what we might do (even if just papering over it...)? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Milestone: ubuntu-12.04 = None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906987 Title: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/906987/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 906987] Re: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option
Yeah -R was way too unstable to continue enabling and it was even disabled in a SRU in natty (the one release that ever had it enabled) because of it. This could be worked around easily by calling syndaemon with -m 500 in gnome-settings-daemon which is responsible for spawning it, with a patch like the attached one. The problem is the syndaemon man page warns about pitfalls of too high values so getting this right might take some trial and effort introducing bugs to people and I'm not sure 5 wakeups/second is worth it. -m poll-interval How many milliseconds to wait between two polling intervals. If this value is too low, it will cause unnecessary wake-ups. If this value is too high, some key presses (press and release happen between two intervals) may not be noticed. This switch has no effect when running with -R. Default is 200ms. ** Patch added: launch syndaemon with an increased poll interval in gnome-settings-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/906987/+attachment/2788500/+files/0001-Increase-syndaemon-poll-interval-to-500ms.patch ** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906987 Title: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/906987/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 906987] Re: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option
It ought to be possible to implement syndaemon like gnome-session's idle detection. It uses the XSync extension and XCreateAlarm(). I have started making some investigations about this. If all else fails, we could at least lower the polling frequency from 5 to 2 Hz, which would then match our default unlocking delay of 0.5 seconds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906987 Title: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/906987/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
