Hi,
Another idea; Would it be possiblle to dim the main display to say 10% brightness after e.g. 10 sec. of no keyboard, Mouse or remote action? (configurable)
Why I think this is useful; for those folks like me who have a monitor connected to the main VGA output for navigation and a projector hooked up to the TV output for watching movies (overlay as full screen like in matrox DVDMax or ATI Theatre mode) . When the movie is playing the brightness of the monitor can be a distraction especially when the room is darkened. By dimming it down it will not interfere with the Projector and still allow navigation if needed.
Another general advantage is that the screen will be less likely to suffer burn-in this is extremely important if you use a Plasma display because these devices burn-in very quickly.
just a thought... unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to write any code so I hope someone out there will find the time to do it...
cheers
