User activity detection fail for multiple logged users

[Nalim27]

Hello,

I'm using Boinc 6.6.28 on Windows Vista and I found problem with user activity detection. I set BOINC to use GPU computing only if user is not active (because I want to stop use GPU during game playing). It is working fine for user/account (admin account) under BOINC manager was installed. During installation I choose that only this user can use BOINC manager. But user activity detection fails if another user log into Windows - when another user run any game the GPU Workunit ends with error, because BOINC Manager did not stop GPU computing.

So problem can be solved if it possible to detect any keybord/mouse activity - not dependant on what user/account cause this activity.

If it not possible to detect activity of another user in Windows (for example due strong UAC security in Windows Vista), then problem can be solved by detection of GPU activity: When BIONC detect that another application start using GPU (Direct 3D or OpenGL), then BOINC Manager should stop GPU Workunit computing.

Hello,

I tried some more test to approve this defect and it seems that I was not right - BOINC Manager correctly stop GPU WU, when user move mouse.

But WU cause error again - I think that defenct is somewhere else - maybe sometimes WU fall down when Manager (correctly) send stop command to WU, or it is happen when another user log into Windows ..... I'm not sure now.

I will try more tests, but it semms that problem is in GPUGRID project and not in BOINC.

Sorry for false ticket.
