 That's what I meant by the internal X screensaver. But I don't know if this 
will also prevent DPMS from suspending the monitor, and it's a question if 
xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver or any other possible screensaver react on 
it, so I suggest you check this.

 And, since this 'how do I prevent the screensaver' question turns up rather 
often, if really just this call works, it'd be useful for others if you 
posted a reply saying so.
