I know how to disable power-off of the monitor, ie, dpms. It is an option in the xorg file.
I have not tried jet but I think you could try to de-install the programs for power management (or install an other program for that).
That could be problematic. If you have a look at xorg.conf(5, you can see interesting things: Option "BlankTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the blank phase of the screen- saver. time is in minutes. This is equivalent to the Xorg server's -s flag, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1). Default: 10 minutes. Option "StandbyTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the standby phase of DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1). Default: 20 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below). Option "SuspendTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the suspend phase of DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1). Default: 30 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below). Option "OffTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the off phase of DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1). Default: 40 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below). Option "DPMS" "bool" This option controls whether the server should enable the DPMS extension for power management for this screen. The default is to enable the extension. But then, the desktop (KDE) can override these settings, thus the trick Tom Taylor mentions could work if that is the case (xset s noblank -dpms) However, all that should not be necessary. I understand the problem is that the blanking occurs when the OP is watching a video in Kaffeine. It is the responsability of kaffeine to avoid the blanking to occur, nobody should have to disable powersaving features (which are a good thing). Kaffeine can use either the xinelib engine or gstreamer. I know that one of the expert configurations of xine is that it can emulate a keypress. In the standar xine-ui, go to settings, gui, "screensaver reset interval", which by default is 10 seconds. So, if kaffeine is interrupted by the screensaver (in full screen mode), it is a bug you have to report in Bugzilla. Whatever is the cause, it has to be resolved. It could happen that xine-ui doesn't integrate perfectly with kde, but kaffeine is a kde program, so it has to handle this perfectly. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
