I have checked those, in VLC there is a tic box "Inhibit power management
daemon during playback" it is tic'd. I am not sure if the signaling is not get-
ting to the proper place or what, but if I run say a movie, after a
bit the screen
darkens, I have the machine set to turn off the monitor after so many minutes
of idle, and it does regardless of if there is activity on the machine such as
a running video. I know of no "cold corner", but I know that under 9.04 it did
work, so it is something that 9.10 has changed somewhere...
