Hi,
Please find attached my second attempt at this patch that will disable the gnome screensaver when vdr-sxfe starts and enable it when it quits.
The first version was originally posted to the xineliboutput mailing list, this version of the patch has more intelligent Makefile that checks for dbus dev libraries and gets the paths for the dbus includes.
Most of the code is taken from this patch for mplayer: http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/mplayer/ubuntu-feisty/bundle/naf...
from what I could gather on the mplayer mailing list this patch was originally done by Piotr Kaczuba (pepe@attika.ath.cx) so most credit should go to him. The gnome_screensaver.c file is pretty much entirely his with some changes to make it work with the vdr-sxfe logging so if it's used please be sure to credit him.
Any feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex
