No. I start in windowed mode (which is the default for DOSBox). If then (on my home PC) do an ALT-ENTER (fullscreen), and a 2nd ALT-ENTER (windowed again), then I can not get the screensaver to activate until I exit DOSBox.
This is what I was commenting on. I said I dont' care if it works or not in WINDOWED mode. I'm not the one who needs to learn to read. Here, let me quote this and break it down like they did in english classes back in grade-school.
Well I don't care if it works windowed.
This indicates that I am not interested in your findings regarding windowed mode.
I have the problem with fullscreen,
This is where I tell you that I have the problem in fullscreen mode, not windowed. I did not say that you had the problem.
although your discovery is interesting in that you have to go full and back to disable the screensaver.
This states my interest in you discovering that going fullscreen and then back to windowed disables the screensaver while in windowed mode, nothing more.
Sounds like disabling the screensaver is a problem in general.
Just a generic comment on the overall situation.
Now explain where I said anything about disabling the screensaver and thus needing to learn to read? I honestly did not know how to phrase my comments any clearer than what I did. If there is such a way, please retype my post so that I may learn from it.
Now back to the subject at hand! I have tested several more SDL applications and so far and only two (fireworks and something else) allow the screensaver to kick in while in fullscreen mode. The rest will NOT allow the screensaver to kick in and work properly. This tells me that something in DOSBox, fireworks, and the other SDL app do something different and it allows the screensaver to kick in. This is only three apps out of a dozen or so, so how can I blame this on SDL is the majority are working?
