This seems to work (I can see the cursor move), but gnome-screensaver continues to blank. If I move the cursor manually as this is happening, it stops and I can continue watching the video. I'm not sure what would cause gnome-screensaver to ignore the cursor movement generated by mplayer. I do notice the cursor always moves the instant the screensaver begins to fade. Maybe that timing has something to do with it? -- Brian
