I'm not 100% sure if Fedora is using gnome-screensaver or not. If so,
you want to use the gnome-screensaver-command utility. The -i option
will prevent the screensaver from activating.

If it's using xscreensaver, then you want xscreensaver-command.

Generally mplayer will do that for you automagically, but there's the 
-stop-xscreensaver option if that's not your default.
