Yes, I did set the screensaver to activate! The problem is that this script kept turning my external display off whenever I stopped moving the mouse -immediately! :-)

Here is what I did:
- Copied your Perl script from this webpage.
- Pasted it into my editor (checked that it contains no malicious code :).
- Saved your script into /usr/local/bin.
- Added read and execution rights for everyone.
- Added it to System/Preferences/Startup Applications.
- Rebooted my Linux.

And then I had to disable the script, because of the mentioned problem.

By the way: thank you that you at least made an effort to help us!
