Does it happen as soon as you start playing the video or after a certain fixed time? Which browser are you using? Which DE/WM?

I don't see how it would affect the screensaver. From the same wiki page, the following is said to disable the screensaver

xset s off

my mistake.

i meant to say, i want to prevent my screen from blanking when im watching flash videos. not to disable it completely.

This question was asked countless times before.
Have you even tried searching yourself? And if so: have you tried any of those solutions?

(there are even dedicated programs just for this purpose...)

yeah, i did a search before starting topic. i was surprised due this issue is so common and there is no simple and convenient way to solve it. you either do it manually, write a script or install dedicated program. i couldnt believe its true and posted this topic.

i decided to use manual way.

thx for answers.
