Title: Screensaver Problem
Post by: Conzul on October 27, 2009, 01:06:06 am

I always have to turn off my screensaver when I run tremulous, because it comes on in the middle of the game and performs and alt+tab on me. How can I stop my screensaver coming on in the middle of a match, without turning it off first? It's very annoying.

System: Compaq-Presario SR2013WM
OS:     Ubuntu Jaunty
Graphics: NVidia GeForce 6150 LE onboard

thx for any help

Most screensavers/energy saving software have a blacklist, where you can specify to suspend energy saving when a certain software is running.

I checked for one, but did not find any such settings. Only settings for what to do when the power button is pressed. Any other ideas?

Create a launcher that does:

Code: [Select]

gnome-screensaver-command --inhibitas long as the terminal is open, your screen saver won't come up.  There was a better way to do this, I used to use it.  I'll look around for you, and see if I can find some thing better.
