Hrm .. that's interesting. Never actually noticed if I had this problem. It could be that usually when I'm playing something in windowed mode, I'm also doing other stuff in other apps and when not I use it fullscreen. I'll have to test this.

Which output driver are you using (sdl, macosx, quartz, ...)?

macosx.


seems to be the fastest from the possible drivers.

hi,

i use mac osx.

the problem is that when i'm watching something in mplayer, the system seems to interpret it as 'nothing is happening', and acts accordingly:

1. lowers the brightness of the screen after some time
2. probably would later turn off the display, but i never wait so long.


after #1, simply moving the cursor around a little helps, but it gets a little annoying after some time.


for me this seems to be the standard problem as i had in linux with the screensaver jumping in.

is there anything to solve this on mac-osx?

or to reformulate:
what are other mac-osx users doing in this situation?

thanks,
gabor
