helpman Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I bet this was asked before, but just in case.I enabled start screensaver from my gameex menu to try my new led controller... but when I launch the screensaver it runs for about 10 seconds then quits ???? Am I doing anything wrong?
helpman Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Funny... it was working fine before. I just added my new pacdrive, ledblinky to create custom animations (which I wasn't able to make them work anyway), cpwizard to show a control panel like my own instead of gameex internal one... and nothing else.now I enabled the option to start screensaver, it starts, and after 10 seconds it quits back to gameex.I deleted that option and set the screensaver to run at 5 minutes. the screensaver didn't go off.Then I set the screensave to run at 1 minute... and after 10 minutes nothing happened.I just don't know what could be causing this???

(the pasted text is just a part of the log) I tried disabling everything I was not using before noticing this problem. So I disabled cpwizard, and it was still crashing. then disabled cursor hide plugin, and still the same. Disabled led plugin... and still the same!I just don't know what's causing it. Even tried not firing the screensaver myself and let it alone for some minutes (set screensaver to run in 1 minute of inactivity) and it just won't run. it's like it's recognising some kind of activity but there's nothing :?log.txt
helpman Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 Ok, update I found the problem. Silly me.That HAS to be something creating a keystroke or something.So I double checked what could be causing it.As I don't need all the usb controller connections, I have 2 cables with no use.One of them somehow found a ground and I had player 2 button 7 (not connected to anything) pressed. I isolated those cables and now it's fine solved, please close this thread of shame for me
