loktar Wrote:i having some issues with AL + mame + xbmclive. after sometime playing anygame the screen goes black like a screen saver, i press any button on the remote or keyboard and the screen goes back to mame. i have tried to change the screen saver timer on xbmc but got no results and the timer to get black screen seem to be the same even im changing on xbmc. someone have faced this before?It maybe not only related to XBMC but also to the x server system. When you start XBMC you also start xorg and maybe a windows manager (i do not know if XBMCLive use one). You have to be sure that Xorg and the windows manager not also use a sleep timer through a power management tools or a screensaver.
sry any erros, im brazilian.
If it is really XBMC which control the sleep timer, you can try to close XBMC (using a bash script) before starting mame. If it is not XBMC which control the sleep timer, you can try to disable the Advanced power management (APM), using bash script, before starting mame.
