Gnome-screensaver shouldn't activate is there is recent joystick input

[Echo Nolan]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

It's quite annoying to be playing a flight sim and have my screen lock for no apparent reason.

This is obviously a nice-to-have.

Oh, I should add this: the joystick I'm using is a standard USB stick. Model: Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. If it matters, this happens when I'm playing FlightGear.

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

FlightGear is supposed to tell the screensaver not to activate. Reassigning bug to flightgear package.

Still present in 13.10 (flightgear 2.10) and also upstream (2.99); possible fix being discussed upstream at http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/

[Rebecca Palmer (rebecca-palmer)]

Fixed in upstream 2.99 (packages available at https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/flightgear-edge , but please note that this is a development version and hence likely to contain other bugs).

[Rebecca Palmer (rebecca-palmer)]

Fixed in 3.0.0 (in Trusty).
