idling question

How does it determine if I am idling or not? not moving the mouse? computers asleep?
Hope that helps.The software uses several different methods for determining if the system is idle. In Windows, if there’s no user input on the mouse or keyboard for a while (the exact timing depends on the system’s configuration) the FAH screensaver can activate, the power management settings can turn off the monitor, or Windows can decide that it’s in “away mode”, whichever comes first. In Mac OS X, the system is idle if there’s no user activity for around five minutes. In Linux, the screensaver and a lack of user input are used to determine idleness.
