Does any of you have a good idea on how to disable the screensaver/powermanager (turning the monitor off) while using Zsnes? I'm playing with a USB-attatched Logitech Dual Action. Of course I COULD disable the saver manually and then take it back when done, but somehow that feels wrong. I want it to be automatic!
I'm probably not alone in this matter, but I couldn't find any solutions here on the forum. Using KDE with X.org if that's of any interest.

I remember hearing the disable screensaver option doesn't work... but meh.. (this feature being Windows specific is a different problem altogether)
You will have to make a request for the disable power management options though... (for SDL+Win)

Too many different screensavers/power managers without any standardized way to pause them -> no effort from our side.

<jmr> bsnes has the most accurate wiki page but it takes forever to load (or something)
MPlayer disables screensavers in various ways, but it does depend on the OS and (especially in Linux) the WM.
In KDE, the command MPlayer uses to disable it is (and just set it to true to turn it back on).
Surely a script can handle that.

Also renamed zsnes to zsnes-bin. Thanks for the help!
