- Thread-topic: Xquartz in Full-screen mode prevents display+Mac from sleeping
I am trying to understand why Xquartz running in full-screen mode would stop display and computer (Mac OS X 10.9.3) from sleeping.
So, when I use the X11 system in full-screen mode and I leave my laptop open on my desk without working on it, it would sit there with the X11 screen bright and shiny until the battery runs dry.
What I want, is the standard OS X screensaver, sleeping and hibernating mechanism to remain in charge even when I am working with Xquartz in full screen mode.
I noticed this note: (http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-December/016547.html)
XQuartz: Disable the Mac OS X screensaver when in full screen mode
I am new to Xquartz, having used whatever Apple used to distribute before.
I have had a look at the source code and the “offending” function seems to be QuartzScreenSaver. Unfortunately, there is a raft of packages needed to re-compile xquartz and ran out of steam at some point.
Any suggestions welcome!
All the best,
Gunnar
