Hello, daemons!
I finally manage to install FreeBSD on my desktop, with all nasty desktop things I need (flash, skype). All good, with one exception (it exists in everything X based I think) - not all fullscreen programs manage to inhibit the screensaver, and sometimes very annoyingly xscreensaver (what I use for screensaver) blanks the screen in the middle of some movie. I got enough anger and here's little patch in result of this. What the patch does is: when time to blank the screen comes it checks if there's any window with dimensions of the screen and if there is such window - disable blanking for one minute.
For the man patch remove the .txt extension(the forum attach functionality doesn't seem to like it otherwise ).
Cheers p.
P.S. It'll sound bit strange from me, but, for those of you interested in such a screensaver functionality: since this is my first post in the forum I'll suggest not to just apply the patch, but take a look at it yourself, or wait some more known to the community to say its safe (not malicious).
