The problem is solved. Then I used totem-xine I also viewd it on my TV. To do this, the solution I used, started another instance of X for the TV. This instance didn't care about the settings in gnome-scrensaver. Gnome-screensaver is aware totem is runing but the other instance of X blanked the screen anyway. I now use xset for this other instance of X.
