Screensaver appears while watching DVD
 
So I have kaffeine installed and will be watching a dvd or other movie, when my screensaver from xscreensaver will appear. Isn't there supposed to be some way to make it fake key press so I can watch my movie without hitting the mousepad every 5 minutes?

Mplayer stops the screensaver while running so you might want to look at that.

Other than that you could run the xscreensaver config 'xscreensaver-demo' and turn it off briefly, or maybe write a shell script that uses 'xscreensaver-command -exit' then starts kaffeine, then does 'xscreensaver-command -restart'

Supposing you're using Gnome, it's really easy to turn off the screensaver. Just look under Preferences/Screensaver. I assume something similar must exist in KDE (but where?).

Keffeine -> Settings -> Configure Kaffeine -> Behaviour -> Interval to fake keypresses

except when I go to kaffeine behavior, interval to fake key press isn't an option. Am I missing a package or something?

Possibly, but who can say when you've told us absolutely nothing about your distro?

fedora core 6. sorry should have mentioned that in the begining.
