I got a new Dell XPS 15 laptop and installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bits and Wine 1.3.10. A strange thing I found is that after a Wine program was started (even after it was stopped), the screen saver does not activate. I can actually force it to activate from command line, but after a little while it gets deactivated even though I never touched anything. So I used "xev" to see what X event might be causing the problem. It turns out the following key event triggers once in a while:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 15657297, (152,155), root:(184,204),
state 0x0, keycode 235 (keysym 0x1008ff59, XF86Display), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Keycode 235 is related to the 2 keys controlling screen brightness - in my case F4 and F5 without holding the Fn key. I am not sure what serial 37 means. If I press F4 or F5 manually without Fn key, xev preports serial 45 rather than 37.
Note this does not happen in a session without starting any Wine program. Anyone know what might be causing the problem?
