    Screen dims down for the screensaver but no screensaver appears

    I have a problem with my screensaver. I think this might be the doing of Caffeine.

    Basically, when my screen starts dimming for the screensaver to kick in, it dims all the way, and then the screen comes back on again and stays that way until I show some activity. The screen doesn't even go into sleep either.

    Help is appreciated as always

    11.10 has no screensaver. If you want one try this.

    I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I'm still using 11.04. I don't intend to upgrade soon. I have a 11.10 partition that I'm using to sort out kinks and get everything working. THEN I'll upgrade my main paritition.
