Hi Folks,
I just loaded VLC on my netbook and was able to view my recent manta ray
night diving video.
However, given its normal power saving procedure, it dims the screen
shortly after the video starts.
Is there any prevailing wisdom how to handle this feature during a video
display?
I am assuming watching movies has the same issue...

System -> Preferences -> Screensaver
and take it from there.
Note: You might have 2 screensaver entries in the drop down menu.
On my F13, the first screensaver menu entry runs the
xscreensaver-demo
which I am unable to kill, even via sudo, even with signal 9.
I hope some fedoral developer sees this :)
So, select the second screensaver entry and that will bring up a
gui for you to set what to do when idle.
You can uncheck the box and it will not blank the screen.
