I'm not using any screensavers these days (for no particular reason),
but when I did have them installed, I've also experienced similar
conflicts. I can't remember if I actually fixed it, seems like it at
least became more bearable, when I went into Settings and played
around there:
Applications (desktop menu) > Settings > Power Manager
Multiple tabs there seem to allow for potential conflict.
That's under XFCE4, by the way. Other desktop environments like
Trinity will hopefully have their own similar user-friendly features.
Afterthought based on the power management potential for conflict: Are
there any possibly related warning or error messages showing up via
e.g. dmesg?
