Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma: Problem with screensaver

Hi,

It should be mainly a question of the SDL version that you are using - in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/enigma-devel/2008-01/msg00003.html I 
stated the version dependency:

Up to SDL 1.2.9 the screensaver will not be disabled by SDL applications.

Note that SDL versions 1.2.12 and above may cause problems in the Gamma 
handling. At least on Windows SDL crashes internally on the first Gamma 
set operation.

Please report your experience concerning SDL screensaver feature and 
gamma stability.
