    [Gnome3.2] How do I disable "screensaver" by default

    I've got a computer system I'm setting up to display random videos (from a script) on a screen. The problem is, every 20 minutes the screen goes black and goes to sleep. I've tried going into gnome system settings, then into screen... have the "turn off after" set to never, but it doesn't work. Changing the turn off after to any other setting still turns off the display after 20 minutes.

    Also, I checked to see if changing the information in dconf-editor would change anything, but no go. org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-display-ac

    I'm curious... what is your graphics chipset on your system with this problem?

    Code:
    *-display
         description: VGA compatible controller
         product: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
         vendor: Intel Corporation
         physical id: 2
         bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
         version: 09
         width: 64 bits
         clock: 33MHz
         capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
         configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
         resources: irq:59 memory:fb400000-fb7fffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:f000(size=64)
    Motherboard is the ASUS P8Z68-V

    Just curious if any solution was found on your issue? I'm having the same issue, though I rarely use gnome shell.

    I've tried replacing gnome screensaver with xscreensaver, and I've tried completely removing both but all no joy.

    I've tried the obvious as well setting to never, and changing settings in both gconf and dconf editors, still the screen times out.

    I have a amd 64 chipset and am using the most current fglrx driver
    What I'm dealin' with:
    HP Pavilion G6-1D60US, dual booted: Ubuntu 16.04 64bit, & Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, 640 gig HDD, 4 gig RAM

    I've been using Caffeine since Oneiric. I describe it very briefly in step #12 here:

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966370

    While that deals with classic/fallback I find Caffeine to work just as well in Unity. I have not tried it in a gnome-shell session.
