aaaah but not so simple. when screensaver kicks in, we still get a black screen as no one "took over being the custom screensaver". e's infra just lets whatever the current screensaver is work - and thats x's default "create big black window" screensaver. you need to modify e_screensaver.c ANd ecore_x to add support to use XScreenSaverSetAttributes() to set up a custom screensaver window. that's easily done - you define the p[ixmap to be used (just use 0), x,y, widht, height et.c and colormap and so on.. what u want is to just get x to create a dummy window offscreen so give it x, y of -1 -1 and width and height of 1x1 (the rest is rather irrelevant so it can have default colormap and visial and depth etc.).. but more importantly.. this makes x NOT display a big black window. you'll have to add an ecore_x call to do this (and so e becomes the default screensaver client). now e_screensaver needs to know about this and "do something". e_backlight needs to register a handler with e_screensaver of some sort to say "hey - i'll handle the screensave event by dimming". if no one registers, e_screensaver should do its own thing (eg popup big black window). :) so you're on your way there. but there is more to do. also you still have your sleep timer in the patch that you dont use (the value in config). :) sorry i'm making this hard, but along the way you'll learn a lot about x, efl, e etc. :) > Hei, > > > > Also, many userspace applications can work with that.
