Hi there,
When I am in Red Hat Linux on my laptop using the USB for keyboard and mouse
the screensaver comes on in the middle of my typing or mousing.

Moving the mouse or typeing a key on the USB devices does not re-activeate
the laptop.

Only typing a keyboard character on the laptop keyboard will reactivate the
laptop.

It can be quite frustrating.

Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

Thanks in advance,

Ross
