Hi!
This patch allows to cancel authentication process on VT switch (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) or DPMS screen blank (I have configured
xset dpms 0 0 15
indisplay-setup
script). It will be resumed after switching VT back or screen unblank.This might be helpful for those who use fingerprint reader for authentication. Fingerprint reader is activated by pam module and it remains taken over until authentication process ends. This leads to 2 problems:
This feature is optional and should be configured via new
stop-on-inactivity
configuration option which is disabled by default.Mini-Greeter will require 2 additional libs:
X11
(which actually isn't implied bygtk+-3.0
) andXss
(allows to monitor screen blanking).
