Paul, list, what would be the right way to signal to powerd that for this session aggressive suspend should be suspended, or its timeout lengthened to several minutes, without affecting the "normal" setting?

I also found another technique -- passing -noxv to Xephyr which is what I am using right now (but see below for a request for help). > Is there a specific reason that you want XVideo disabled? Yes -- I am mirroring the screen to a sisusbvga device that cannot handle it. If Xv is not advertised and programs use x11, sisusbvga can handle it (though everything is slow, naturally). The task at hand is to mirror the XO display to a projector/monitor connected via a cheap USB2VGA device, with decent performance. I am 99% there using Xinerama. For example, it works *great* on monitors that handle 1152x864 with very light clipping of the border of the screen (xorg.conf link below )-- the bad news is that most projectors don't support that rez. http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/usbvga/xorg-xo1.5-dcon-hires-extmon.conf The popular rez is 1024x768 -- we cannot clip *that* much. We need to shrink the desktop -- but setting a Virtual that is smaller than your monitor does not work with X, and Modeline tricks aren't working. Maybe there is a way to tell X to accept a small Virtual? Discussion at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-July/050670.html In the meantime, `Xephyr -screen 1024x768 -noxv :1` is doing the trick. (Xnest works too, but is much slower and buggier...) I would love to get rid of Xephyr. Is there a way to shrink our virtual desktop? cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
