fgOSDisableScreensaver()

void fgOSDisableScreensaver

(

)

Attempt to disable the screensaver.

Screensavers/powersavers often do not monitor the joystick, and it is hence advisable to disable them while FlightGear is running. This function always exists, but currently only actually does anything on Linux, where it will disable gnome-screensaver/kscreensaver until FlightGear exits.

The following might be useful to anyone wishing to add Windows support: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373233%28v=vs.85%29.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373208%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (While this documentation says it only disables powersave, it is elsewhere reported to also disable screensaver) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd405534%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
