Disable black screen on playback
I need to disable X's black screen while playing flash videos eg Youtube, is there any way to make Flash do this automatically?
On Ubuntu there is a panel plugin, Caffeine which allows you to manually disable all powersave settings (screensaver, suspend after idle time...) but I am running a bare Openbox so that is not an option. Do you know a script to do this manually?

Re: Disable black screen on playback
See 'man xset', the "dpms" and "s" options. That should take care of all screen-related issues.

Re: Disable black screen on playback
I fear the only way is to write a script to run in background that watches periodically if flash plugin is running, if it is, then run xset -dpms; sleep sometime and recheck...

By the way, I didn't read any of the posts above me.
