#402 dosbox running = no idle detect

[hansol]

Hi there,

I use dosbox to run a few legacy programs for my business. It seems like for whatever reason, when dosbox is open, but the computer is not being used at all ie. idle, the Linux OS will not detect the system as being idle. However, as soon as dosbox is closed, the sysem will go back to recognizing idle time correctly. Any way to fix this so that if dosbox isn't having data entered into it, the system will recognize the system is idle?

DOSBox emulates a gaming machine, where it is quite useful that the game continues to run if the game is getting input (music etc)
