upgrade request : screensaver not disabled

Marskilla · 10 August 2013, 18:54

While I was playing with a joypad on FS-UAE (windows 7 pro), the screensaver triggered itself. The screensaver used opengl, so fs-uae was not able to draw the surface and crashed.

I didn't notice that before because I used to play with the keyboard or the mouse and the screensaver didn't trigger.

But once again, in my opinion, fs-uae is the best way to play amiga games.

Am I the only one with the problem or maybe did I miss a config option that disable the screen saver ?

I tried it again and... I was unable to reproduce the problem.

I was playing with my laptop using the VGA output and the laptop screen disabled it seems working now correctly.

Sorry

Hi, I haven't noticed the problem, but it is quite possibly still there. I can't remember that I explicitly disable the screensaver from triggering, but I assume SDL perhaps does this implicitly, at least in fullscreen mode. So could be a fullscreen <-> windowed thing (problem only occurs in windowed mode for example).

Let me know if the problem re-appears

I'm sure it is possible to inhibit the screensaver if necessary...
