Public bug reported:
On my lappy i'm running
x11vnc -forever -noxdamage -nowf -usepw -auth guess
and on my desky i'm running vncviewer, which works pretty well, as the
lappy keyboard and touchpad aren't quite as handy as a real keyboard and
mouse.
Odd thing is tho, the lappy screen will usually still be on even when
i've been away for hours. Not always tho. i think the correlation is
whether i happened to leave the desky mouse on top of the vncviewer
window or not.
Seems to me it would be good to timeout the lappy screen when
everything's been idle awhile, regardless of where i happened to leave
the mouse.
dunno but i wonder whether my mouse happens to be one of those mice that
wiggles a little every couple minutes even when not touched. if so
maybe X is smart about that and maybe x11vnc isn't. But X is running on
both ends, so i dunno.
i judge this to be not a rfe but a bug, since timeout and powerdown are
already working some of the time, tho usually, not.
