Bug ID: 366529
Summary: Screen locks when using USB accessories like gamepads
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.5.95
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ganth...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, mgraess...@kde.org
Kscreenlocker doesn't seem to be aware of input from USB gamepads, so it will
lock if only those devices are being used.
I noticed this happening after I upgraded from KDE 4 and was playing a full
screen game through Steam while using one of my USB gamepads.
The default settings was set to 5 minutes, so the screen lock would interrupt
my game after every 5 minutes. The obvious workaround was to turn the screen
lock feature off, but I don't think that will be the best solution in the
future.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to KDE plasma
2. Ensure that the screen lock feature is on
3. Launch a full screen game, but only play with a USB gamepad
4. Avoid hitting the keyboard or using a mouse
Actual Results:
Kscreenlock will interrupt the game when it wasn't necessary since USB input
was being passed into the OS via a gamepad.
Expected Results:
Kscreenlock should account for USB accessory input and not automatically lock.
