Bug 560

Summary: Investigate use of XResetScreenSaver()
Product: SDL Reporter: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: icculus
Version: 1.2.13Keywords: target-1.2.14
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux   

Description Sam Lantinga 2008-02-26 23:09:39 UTC 
It's been suggested on the mailing list that XResetScreenSaver() should be used instead of disabling power save, so if the application crashes it doesn't affect power save settings.
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-13 16:33:10 UTC 
Tagging this bug with "target-1.2.14" so we can try to resolve it for SDL 1.2.14.

Please note that we may choose to resolve it as WONTFIX. This tag is largely so we have a comprehensive wishlist of bugs to examine for 1.2.14 (and so we can close bugs that we'll never fix, rather than have them live forever in Bugzilla).

Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-20 23:37:11 UTC 
We should probably kick this one to SDL 1.3, though.

Comment 3 Sam Lantinga 2009-09-21 00:14:54 UTC 
This has been taken care of in SDL 1.3, which has a better architecture for handling these sorts of things.
Comment 4 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-28 23:58:09 UTC 
(Also, it looks like we use XResetScreenSaver in 1.2 anyhow. Not sure where the comment came from, or if we fixed it since.)
