It has failed again. And by looking at the mouse pointer, I have seen
that it moves rapidly (as if it was shaking). It is likely this is the
reason for power saving failing on my monitor, and the interaction
between Enlightenment's own power saving settings and xset was just a
coincidence.
Is there any way I can make the computer disregard these erratic random
mouse movements for the idle time calculation?
The ideal solution would be for the computer to use an intelligent
algorithm to analyse the mouse movement and disregard noise. A worse
solution would be for the computer to apply a digital filter to the
mouse movement to disregard noise. An even worse solution
(but still far better than the current situation) would be to ignore the
mouse movement completely, and calculate idle time based solely on mouse
clicks and keyboard activity. Can it be done?
