Clear the screen after eips - DEVELOPERS CHALLENGE!
I find annoying the inability of clearing eips-writed areas. I've tried different approaches, for example this one:
Code:
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd powerButton 1; wait 1; lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd powerButton 1; Who will be able to find a solution for this dilemma? Let the "Best Developer Challenge" begin!!!! First and only prize: Glory and honour for all the eternity! For others: Shame and pity UPDATE: Challenge finished, and the winner is... BRIANINMAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last edited by Aeris; 11-09-2013 at 07:41 PM. |

I think geekmaster or twobob had a script to save the state of the screen and restore after a call to eips. I can't seem to find it now, but it was maybe early this spring?

Yup, which is also roughly what I did in the ScreenSavers KUAL extension to preview the current active screensaver .
dump fb => show stuff => restore fb => refresh screen (ioctl/eips '') |
