I would like to write a program to blank the screen if no "key or mouse button" is pressed in a specified length of time. The current system screen blanker does not blank the screen since we have a digital clock running. I am assuming that the system screen blanker looks for both graphic events and keyboard events. Does anyone have any ideas? If I could locate the display managers screen structure, I could add an event handler to that screen, but I don't know how to get its location. Any suggestions, alternatives are welcome.
