I read a post about this issue, and misfit138 suggested adding the following lines to xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "BlankTime" "0" # added
Option "StandbyTime" "0" # lines
Option "SuspendTime" "0" #
Option "OffTime" "0" #
EndSection
anywho I add these lines and my screen saver does not kick in what so ever...so it works but no screensaver ever kicks in.
what I would really like is this.
I full screen vlc or flash content on the web and my screen saver does not kick in, in all other situations it does. I'm using gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver installed as well to offer more screen savers as I really really like linux screen savers...
any one with the same issue? any solutions?
Thanks

does it happen with other video players ?
If it ain't broke, broke it then fix it.

I run a small script when I plan to see a video and know that the screen saver will activate, here it is
#!/bin/bash
watch -n 300 /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate
Just change the 300 to some reasonable number in seconds that falls before your screensaver activates.

ok...
testing away
....strange screen saver seems to be staying off in both vlc and media-player I'm going to play around to get a concept on this issue... I'll post when I have more to add.
thanks so far.

Rookie...where do you put that script?

I can leave it on my home directory and open a terminal and run it with ./stop_screensaver or these days I have created /extra and put stuff like this and wireless certificates and some chroot helper scripts there. Then I just add a script to /etc/profile.d to add /extra to the search path and I'm good to go, just open the cli and stop_screensaver.

I removed "gnome-screensaver" and "xscreensaver"
installed "xscreensaver-arch-logo" from aur and it seems to be fine.
I like the script idea so I may use that should it come up again.

I prefer that
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29762 / https://launchpad.net/caffeine
It's very useful. One can add processes to the automatic activation...
