** Description changed: I am running unity system compositor on my desktop in dual screen mode with Intel HD 2500 graphics. When I play video, even when it's halted and the media player window - (vlc and mplayer) is on another work place, the screen flickers black. + (vlc and smplayer) is on another work place, the screen flickers black. I was able to find the following messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [ 8967.357] (II) Setting DPMS mode for output 1 to 0 [ 8967.884] (II) Setting DPMS mode for output 3 to 0 [ 8972.730] (II) Setting DPMS mode for output 1 to 0 Watching the file with tail -f gives one or two new lines of these messages after each flicker. I experience this only on my desktop in dual screen mode, not on my laptop that also uses Intel graphics (HD 4000) and is currently running saucy. + + Totem and mplayer run from terminal are not affected.
