Wouldn't that make things easier?
The laptop-detect package makes it possible to guess whether the system is a laptop, that's the easy part. It's probably not worth the trouble to change the behaviour based on whether the system is currently running on battery power (what happens if you unplug mains power while the screensaver is active?), so perhaps blanking is still the most sensible default. -- - mdz -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
