As of simple lock (which does not turn off display backlight power), I think you don't need configure simple lock in frameworkd. The AUX key binding is enough -- just a press to lock screen.
If you really need the way of auto + manual, you have to write a ROBUST application, which listens to DBUS signals (idle + input event). Here is the pseudo C code: int locking = 0; pthread_mutex lk = ...; void lock_screen() { pop up screen lock window which lay on top of other windows; optionally turn off display backlight power; locking = 1; } void unlock_screen() { close the screen lock window; turn on display backlight power if it was turned off. locking = 0; } void dbus_idle_signal_handler() { if (should lock screen) { lock(lk); if (! locking) lock_screen(); unlock(lk); } } void dbus_input_event_signal handler() { if (input event type == "pressed") { lock(lk); if (locking) { if (button is "AUX" || button is "POWER") unlock_screen(); } else { if (button is "AUX") lock screen(); } unlock(lk); } } Christian Rüb wrote: > > Hi, > > as I could not find another way to lock the screen I currently use this > little script (illume + frameworkd): > > /usr/local/bin/simple_lock: > #!/bin/sh > export E_IPC_SOCKET=$(find /var/ -type s | grep enlightenment | cut -d\| > -f1) > enlightenment_remote -exec-action "simple_lock" "" > > in /etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml: > - > trigger: IdleState() > filters: HasAttr(status, "lock") > actions: Command('/usr/local/bin/simple_lock') > > AUX button is also bound to desktop simple lock - otherwise it is > impossible to unlock (withou sshing onto the phone)! > > Unfortunately it does not always lock the screen, as the "simple_lock" > action seems to be a toggle.
