I consider this post [SOLVED].
Sure, this works if you don't want any DPMS (screen power saving) or blanking at all. Normally, you want the screen to blank when idle, however. Just not when playing a movie or giving a presentation. In this situation your player or presentation tool should put your desktop in presentation mode. The desktop then performs exactly these actions and prevents the screen saver / screen lock from kicking in. If you need to find a solution which works for you you need to ask at the forums. if you believe there is a real bug somewhere you should report it here. Whether there is a bug in either the KDE desktop or vlc I cannot say right off hand. To determine this, the ticket was why this got reassigned to the vlc maintainer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
