This is a pain for me to, in particular when giving presentations on my laptop using ooimpress in full screen mode. It would be cool if running applications in full screen mode (ooimpress, totem, etc) could automagically turn off all forms of screen blanking. Keith.

To make less use -X automaticly put something like: export LESS="-X" Into your startup script (this will also work for manual pages as these are displayed using less by default) Greets, Gijs

Hi Ofer, To fix your screensaver problem, got to Screensaver, on the Preferences sub menu of the Red Hat menu (click on the red hat in the lower left corner of your screen). In the screen saver preferences, select the Mode drop-down list. The option you want is Disable Screensaver. Good luck, -David
