well fso wants to implement this so it works outside of x11. personally i dont
think fso should be blanking, playing with or otherwise having anything to do
with the screen. the display system does that, be it x11, dfb or some dumb fb
app. these apps should/could feed fso with idle information, if they please,
but this should be left to the windowing system and its environment to handle.
imho.
