There's another possibility: do you use tmux or screen with a clock in its status bar, or do you use some system monitor program that runs in a tty or pts (term emulator), and that is constantly updating? (such as top or htop) I just investigated boinc-client's idle detection function, which is pretty complexed, and it checks all tty and pts's atime as a step, beside mouse and keyboard timestamps from kernel and X11. Try to run boinc-client without those constant-updating-terminal programs, and see if there's any difference. (Actually this idle detection function is not quite satisfactory, imo ...) The relevent code is in client/hostinfo_unix.cpp, in the function bool HOST_INFO::users_idle() (notice that the first one is for apple, and the other is for linux/unix-like) Cheers, GUO Yixuan
