 |
|
Hey.
So if I use my mouse and keyboard it won't go black, but when using a controller it goes black after a certain period of time as if I afk.
My monitor was set to go sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity, I changed it to 120 to circumvent the issue, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it and make it never go to sleep when using a controller.
Thanks.
Edit: Currently using openbox, if that matters. |

| What tool is responsible for blanking the screen? OpenBox is a window manager. Usually, screen blanking is handled by a dedicated screensaver. In your case, the screensaver seems not to consider controller activity to be user activity, but does consider both keyboard and mouse activity to be user activity. How is the controller reported on the system? Is it considered a mouse, a joystick, or something else? |

I don't know what is responsible for it.
dmesg for the controller: https://pastebin.com/79EVh0aG
And that's actually another issue of mine, while it seems fine in dmesg (atleast I'm seeing it that way) I can see the controller in pavucontrol as "headset microphone" which causes my real microphones gains to go back up to 100% whenever I connect my controller.
Edit: I used to use kde before moving onto openbox, and I still haven't ran emerge -avc after deselecting the kde metapackage because I'm too lazy to update the kernel :p |

Same problem here; I'm running lxqt, xscreensaver, and Steam (flatpak). My wired Xbox 360 controller works in games but doesn't prevent xscreensaver from locking. The controller doesn't appear in xinput nor libinput, and xev doesn't react to it. I tried the xpad kernel module and the xboxdrv userspace driver with the same result. When plugging the controller, those lines appear in Xorg.0.log:

/dev/input/js0 is created after plugging in the controller, but something is wrong; I'm in the input group. My guess is Gentoo is missing something that causes the controller to not work, and that's why xscreensaver locks. But Steam somehow talks directly with /dev/input, and that's why it works in games.
EDIT
Looks like those two files in /dev/input have ACLs:
| Code: | lekto@lapek ~ $ getfacl /dev/input/js0 /dev/input/event13
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/input/js0
# owner: root
# group: input

Looks like the controller is working, at least evtest detects it:

I was looking at gamemode, and it looks like it can be set to block screensaver when a game is running. It isn't the perfect solution, but it's better than nothing.
| Code: | ; Sets whether gamemode will inhibit the screensaver when active
; Defaults to 1
inhibit_screensaver=1 |
