Screen blanking during playback

[etNHGfU8]

I did an install from scratch last week (2010-10-08) using new-installer-latest.tar.gz and this issue is still present.

I checked for the new file (~/.kde/share/config/kscreensaverrc) noted in http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/600 but it does not exist.

/usr/pluto/bin/Start_KDE.sh on my computer has the additional code but it obviously has never been executed. So either Start_KDE.sh has never been executed (where is it invoked?) or kcheckrunning returned a non-zero status when executed within the script (I tried kcheckrunning from within a terminal and it returned a zero result as expected).

Start_KDE.sh is executed every time you select Start KDE from the onscreen orbiter.  

Is this your core/hybrid or an MD?  The screensaver fix for the core is reported and a fix provided in http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/827.  This defect patch has not yet been applied to the current builds.

A little un-related but did you know that Thom's Padorbiter for webdt's implements the Start KDE button and you can use it to invoke all kinds of things on a webdt, then use a messagesend to bring orbiter focus back.

OK. I'm running a hybrid so that explains the behavior. Thanks!

And no, I did not know about the WebDT.

Your welcome.
