Re: [e-users] compiling snapshots
Do yours know some how-to to compile snapshots? Using --http://download.enlightenment.org/ i will like compiling there, in DEBIAN. i know exists repository, but i like compiling snapshots :) Consult the section Installing Using CVS of the E17 User Guide in the Enlightenment Wiki to make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed, and to know about the build and installation order of the core Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) on which the Enlightenment desktop shell itself depends. Then, check the section Installing using development snapshots of the same guide to know how to perform the build and installation. Since Enlightenment and the EFL are in constant development, be aware of that development snapshots linger behind the current status of the project. This means that you may not be able to build any modules, other than those provided in the snapshot, or applications that depend on the EFL from the CVS because of differences in the API. The alternative is, of course, to use CVS to acquire and install and to stay up-to-date with the software. Good luck. //rk -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

If not, I'll then check xset values and then reconfigure via E and see if that fixes it. I have noticed this bug for several months. And it happens in e17 and also kde (3.5.7). I use e17 almost exclusively, but I have noticed this even when I had unchecked every power management setting in e17, and instead used display power management from kpowersave. Steps to reproduce: 1. In the e17 config, set the suspend, poweroff, etc timeoffs to 1min so that you don't have to wait too long and enable the power management 2. Wait for 1 min without disturbing the mouse/keyboard. 3. Ensure that power management works (display turns off) 4. Now, start mplayer on a video file and ensure that DPMS is off (xset q | grep -i dpms) 5. let the video run for longer than 1min till it finishes. mplayer will exit and automatically re-enable the DPMS: verify that DPMS is enabled using xset q again. 6. Now, leave the machine undisturbed for more than 1min My experience: the DPMS does get enabled (after mplayer exits) but the display does not turn off. I am using xorg-server 1.3, xset 1.0.2, xorg-x11 7.2 on a gentoo based installation. While writing this mail, I tested the above steps in failsafe mode (only an xterm is open and no WM is running). And the DPMS setting works, contrary to my experience in kde/e17. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
