Comment 3 for bug 149567

I get an effect which is like the screensaver kicking in (blank screen only irrespective of choice of screensaver graphic) when playing a dvd in VLC Player with Compiz running. Curious thing is it does it about every 15 minutes regardless of the time set up on screensaver. I have set VLC to disable the screensaver when playing but this has no effect when Compiz is running.

So I suspect a time out default in Compiz that does not recognise when a dvd is playing and throws a blank screen after about 15 minutes of inactivity from keyboard or mouse.

The problem disappears when Compiz is disabled.
