Turn off your screen-saver?

that is the obvious answer but honestly that is kind of a bother to turn it off then back on every time i am done playing with dolphin.

i just thought there might be a setting or something i am missing.
You actually turn the screen saver back on?

Just turn the screen off.

Unless you really like flying toasters.Sleepy

Rig a toy to press an unmapped button on your keyboard for you.

Or connect another mouse and bump it around with your feet now and then.
is this not a problem for anyone else. i thought someone would have real answer, even though i am enjoying everyone contributions.
Personally I don't NEED a screensaver, I use a fairly modern LCD monitor so there's very low risk of burn-in and I turn it off when not in use.
