Kjell, I'm fairly new to linux, I don't know what is involved to make a backport happen. I could propose it, but I don't have the skills to implement those changes, whatever they may be.
With that said, as gnome-screensaver stands presently, it causes VLC to skip frames during a gnome-screensaver CPU spike. The only solution it appears to get around this is to kill off the gnome-screensaver process. That may be a workable solution for HTPC media centers that really don't need a screensaver at all, but for home desktop users killing gnome- screensaver removes a security component (walking away from PC, password protection) in addition to control over power savings by turning off the monitor after a predisposed length of time. -- gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
