XUBUNTU Screensaver

[barkhat]

I installed Xubuntu 8.10 and I like it but...the darn screensaver is wacky. How do I disable it totally?

When I go to the "Settings" panel and click on Screensaver I uncheck "activate screensaver when computer is idle." I put it on 'blank screen.' In the "regard the computer as idle after:" there is no way to choose 'never'. Even when I push it all the way to 2 hours it still comes on in about 10 minutes or so.

I don't use screensavers, don't want it or need it. I cannot figure out how to totally disable it. It's annoying because it'll pop on while I'm watching a video and that's that. I've never had trouble (that I can remember) when using Ubuntu or Kubuntu but I like Xubuntu.

Please...can anyone tell me how to fix this (disable)? I'd really appreciate the help.

Thank you.

Maybe that's not the screen saver but the power management settings?

On my 8.04 machine that's System / Preferences / Power Management, and then use the "Display" slider.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I'll try and see if that works.
