I have this same problem when watching movies on My laptop with VLC or Totem. I have turned screensaver off and have set screen power to always be on. I am currently running the latest Gutsy Development. I had to change my video output module because i had the green line in the video bug. I dont think i was having the problem initially but when i had to change the output somehow the disabling of the screensaver is not working. I understand Gutsy is in development but i wanted to pass on that I am having the same problems with this version.
If there was a way to simulate a keystroke that would do it. I know that would be a workaround but it could maybe be added to the inhibit applet? -- Screen blanks when watching movies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
