How do you keep screen from timing out in VLC

[Colin23erk]

Hi all
I still needed to disable the Screensaver

I am not sure what the screensaver default option is set for at installation but mine was Set at "Blank Screen Only"with the result that Screen goes black after 10 mins -- this time is adjustable up to 720 minutes.

Why is the default -- Blank Screen after !0 mins and why does it over-ride the power options .

If a normal moving Screensaver was the default then we would be aware it was a screensaver causing the working screen to be lost .

My preferred Default would be to "Disable Screensaver"---seeing that Screensavers are not essential to prevent CRT  screen burnouts. Those that like a Screensaver could then set their own options  .

Another issue for me is could  all the settings  needed to control what happens on the screen  be brought under one  common integrated  "Display "  Settings option  so there is no need to search in Power setting  (not an obvious place) / Screensaver settings / Desktop settings / Display settings . for settings which may conflict with each other .
