gnome screensaver activates when using only mouse, not keyboard

[Sami Nybacka]

On most current Ubuntu 7.10 beta.
Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.20.0-0ubuntu4

Screensaver thinks that computer is idle when using only mouse.

When I go to
System > Preferences > Screensaver and set "regard the computer as idle after" to 1 minute,
after a minute without keyboard strokes, but only mouse movements, screensaver gets activated.

And what I just discovered while writing this:
when only typing (no mouse movements), after a minute screensaver starts to active (dimming the screen). After a another keystroke it apparently resets its idle timer.

So it seems that screensaver needs both mouse & keyboard activity?

Thanks for your report, That works fine in my desktop, if i move the mouse the screensaver isn't activated, not confirming for now.

How many screens do you have?

Two screens, screen0 = laptop internal, screen1 = external LCD. xorg.conf as a attachment.

Thanks, that's probably related to bug 93466
