RE: [gentoo-user] Totem / Gnome-Screensaver / Gnome-2.16 -Screensaver kicks in during movie

Disable the screensaver manually, perhaps? Do you need a screensaver on
a HTPC box?

Or check here

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 :)
