i just downloaded Boxes (aside: i haven't played that game in a very very very long time, and in fact, had entirely forgotten about it. and, it brought back bad memories -- i don't recall being very good at it. :-) while running, Boxes consumes over 80% of the CPU (on my 1.5), even though the display is, as far as i can tell, completely static. if this happens with other pygame-based activities, then something is broken in pygame. the power manager on the XO is configured to prevent the laptop from suspending if it perceives the laptop to be very busy. there's no way to tell whether it's "good busy" or "wasted energy busy", so the laptop won't suspend while Boxes is running. when i quit the activity, however, the laptop suspends normally. paul > > It doesn't happen with my Mirabelle SoaS. > > Here's a sample activity with this problem: > > http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4371 > > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
