[fdo] Advanced interface for power management inhibition?
Hello, I discovered some issues on my Xfce desktop regarding power management inhibition: Audio-only-Applications can use the /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit interface for temporarily disabling system standby. So far so good. But what about Video applications? The above method only disables system standby, but the monitor still dims and powers off if power management is configured to do so. Video applications can disable the screensaver via /org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver/Inhibit, but is it intended to disable monitor power management, too? I am missing an extended /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit method which knows (at least) two modes: * disable system standby * disable system standby and monitor standby * ... Is there a solution to this problem? Fabian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
