I have fresh installation of openSUSE 11.2 and I do not understand one
behavior. In KDE Control center I allowed screensaver to start after 3
minutes of not doing anything. In PowerDevil I have settings of
Presentation mode turning off all manipulation with screen, power saving
and all stuff like this. When I wish to watch a video, I turn
PowerDevill do Presentation mode, but screensaver settings is still
active and disturbing every 3 minutes. It is strange. In KDE3
PowerManager disallowed start of screensaver in such case, but here not.
Is there any way to fix it?

You shouldn't have to mess with powersaving profiles just to watch a video.

In KPowersave there was a black list of applications not allowing to start a
screensaver. It worked fine.

I believe it's the job of the videoplayer to stop the screensaver. What
player do you use?

It is same with SMplayer and Kaffeine.
Best regards,
