sure would be nice, though -- my mouse (a wacom table-mouse) jitters a bit when it's sitting still and, as a result, my screen won't properly go into DPMS sleep unless i move the mouse off the tablet altogether. searching a bit, it seems like if you're using xscreensaver, increasing 'pointerHysteresis' a whole bunch might do the trick.[1] --Rob [1] http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man1.html -- /-------------------------------------------------------------\ | "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" | | --Jimmy Buffett, | | "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" | \-------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
