Dissable Screensaver?
« Reply #15 on: July 02, 2006, 02:31:03 am »
Each application icon in the Qtopia environment is associated with a *.desktop file where you can modify which program or which script gets executed when you tap on the icon.  The *.desktop file will be located in:

/home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications

For example, in my:

/home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/keypebble.desktop

file, there is a line which read, "Exec=keypebble", which I changed to, "Exec=keypebble-ns".  keypebble-ns is the name of a script which shuts off the suspend and screensaver before keypebble executes and re-enables suspend and the screensaver when keypebble stops executing.  You have to be the superuser to edit the *.desktop file:

su
cd /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications
ls
vi keypebble.desktop
exit
exit

You can edit the *.desktop file for the musicplayer or any other program that has an icon this way.

Yay, played around a bit and it turns out that the "Interval = 180" line controls the screensaver while on batery power.  So, setting it to "Interval = 0" disabled the screensaver!  Now no need for silly scripts.
