Energy Saver

[Brendan]

Last weekend i was using my macbook & Kjams at a friends house. Everything worked perfect as usual but we took a break and the energy saver kicked on (Screen went black) This is how i have always had it set up. When i went to move the mouse pad to bring the desktop back on the tv screen, the display started to go crazy(rapidly moving horizontally about four to five frames per second. I was unable to get it to stop until i quit kjams and restarted my Macbook. It happened twice and i had to restart two times. I have three RCA cables coupled together. I checked all the connections and changed the RCA cables out one at a time but it did it again. Note i changed all the RCA's while the screen was going crazy. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? The only thing i didnt do was change out the mini dvi/RCAadapter. I dont think this is the problem because it stopped doing it after i set the screen saver to come on before the energy saver. Thanks in advance-Brendan

I had a similar issue. I never wanted my energy settings to kick in if a certain application (kJams) was running.

This software was a big help. =-)

That is unnecessary. kJams itself "tickles" the computer every 30 seconds to prevent it from sleeping.
