Screen Saver?

[Raul102801]

I installed the latest snapshot last week and now when watching a movie I've noticed that every x amount of minutes the screen goes black. All I have to do is move the mouse and it goes back to the video. I didn't have this problem on earlier versions and I am not sure what to do to fix it. It almost appears as if a screensaver kicks in after so many minutes but the screen just goes black until I move the mouse.

Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Raul102801,

I think this happens if you have loaded KDE desktop, then gone back into the orbiter. If you restart without loading it, or try disabling the KDE screen saver - this should fix it (I think).

Go into kde desktop, settings and disable the screensaver settings there. That way if you every have a need to go into the KDE Desktop, you won't be bothered by this issue again.

You guys were 100% correct. That is what was going on. I had opened KDE trying to install a new network card and that was causing the screen saver to come up. I disabled it and then I rebooted the system and the problem is gone.


Thanks you very much for your assistance.

Glad I could help.

I think this must be the 3rd time I have seen somebody report this problem now (one of them was me mind). I thought it got fixed?

Cheers,
