Hi,


I am using the TV Out default PAL composite mode to run the c64.emu emulator.


It works like a charm...I have switched off the brightness to turn off the pandora screen because switching it off completely will result in performance issues.


After playing a while (maybe about 10-15 min) there is a lag and the performance goes down...it seems that something must have happened in the background. I need to press a key which will switch on the pandora screen again and then I lower the brightness again.


Is there any clue how to improve this?


Thanks in advance.


Rgds,


Thomas
 
Sounds like the x screen saver kicking in to me. Disable that with 'xset s off' in a terminal.


That's just a temporary setting though, so you'll need to redo that every time you reboot. I know how to set that as default in PC linux (add that command to your .xinitrc), though I'm not sure if there's a more pandora-y way of doing it.

Thanks, I will give it a try.


By the way I have recognized the following:


Applications like UAE4All won't start in TV Out mode...it crashs and very interesting: it returns to the desktop and has switched from composite to s-video mode.
 
Hi,


the xset s off workaround worked for me, thanks a lot again.
