Disable the screensaver manually, perhaps? Do you need a screensaver on a HTPC box?
Or check here http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-41026.html Using mplayer or Xine in the interim may be an option. According to: http://uwstopia.nl/blog/2006/12/disabling-the-screensaver Totem *should* inhibit the screensaver. Also, some more googling turned up this: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html A small extract from the above: "You can also turn off DPMS from the Command Line, but this will not survive a reboot. $ xset -dpms Using xset +dpms will turn it back on. Another technique to try, which will turn off the screensaver: $ xset s off You may also combine the command to turn off DPMS and the screensaver: $ xset -dpms s off" Hope this helps :) David > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Sullivan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 21 December 2006 01:13 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Totem / Gnome-Screensaver / Gnome-2.16 > -Screensaver kicks in during movie > > > On Thu, 2006-12-21 at 09:00 +0800, Ow Mun Heng wrote: > > I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but upgraded to > > gnome-2.16, which pulled in gnome-screensaver etc. > > thing is, when I view movies using totem in fullscreen, it > will still > > cause the screensaver to kick in after X amount of minutes. > > > > Is anyone else experiencing this??? > > > > I am in MythTV.
