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?
