    I have XOrg configured (in /etc/x11/xorg.conf) so that XWindows will blank
    the screen after a minute or so. After a few minutes, it will turn DPMI
    power saving modes on on the monitor. A mouse movement or key press will
    cancel this and show the screen normally.

    Is there anyway to make it so that a joystick movement will also prevent the
    screen blanking / power saving from activating? Because a lot of times I'm
    playing a snes9x game with a gamepad and the screen will shut off.

    I know how to turn off powersaving entirely, but I wanted to find a better
    solution... Any ideas?
