Display turns off when watching videos (then video starts to lag), how to fix it?
- by Bad Learner
Okay, here's the thing - - On my Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit installation, I have the display set to turn off automatically after 3 minutes of inactivity.
There are two problems now:
the display turns off even when I am watching videos. But I don't want to keep fiddling my mouse or keyboard when I am watching a movie.
Okay, like I said above, the display turns off, then I move the mouse a bit each time, and the display turns back on. But now, the video doesn't play properly, it lags. A lot actually.
Are these issues common? Can these be fixed?
