Description William Ethridge 2021-12-16 23:33:03 UTC 
SUMMARY

I am using a Pinephone, running Manjaro+Plasma Mobile. If I stop using the touch screen and instead start using a gamepad (such as the Razer Kishi), whatever function turns the device to sleep for inactivity does not listen for it. The screen will dim after a few seconds, and the screen will lock within a minute

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open up a game like Retroarch
2. Try using gamepad instead of the touch screen
3. Pinephone will fall asleep after 1 minute.

OBSERVED RESULT
Phone goes to sleep 

EXPECTED RESULT
Device should stay awake so long as it detects gamepad inputs

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro-ARM/KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

Plasma Mobile issues are tracked at https://invent.kde.org/groups/plasma-mobile/-/issues; can you re-file this over there? Thanks!

This is most likely not specific to Plasma Mobile so let's keep it here
Comment 3 William Ethridge 2021-12-18 16:26:38 UTC 
Is it possible to tell KDE to not hibernate if specific applications are running? That might be an acceptable workaround for at least my use-case. After all, I think I would only be using a gamepad when I am playing a game.

As far as I know, kwin doesn't handle gamepad input because libinput doesn't support it. And it's still up in the air whether the compositor should do that.
