    laptop become idle

    Hi,
    I have a laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2550 and if I don't move the mouse for a few seconds becomes idle. Sometimes become idle after 1-2 seconds, sometimes after 1 minute. When that happens everything stops including sound, but when I move the mouse everything go back to normal. (that's happening with the newer alsa driver)
    On ubuntu 10.04(which use a later alsa driver) I can prevent the laptop become idle if I listen music but the sound stop sometimes for a second. (seems like is an alsa driver problem)
    Right now the best solution is to install OSS driver and to play music all the time.
    Anyone have some better solutions to solve this problem?

    P.S.: I checked the bios and power saving settings.
    Thanks

    Check your Screen Saver settings, and also the Power Saver options.

    I already did that... I think is a kernel problem or something from the sound driver but I don't know how to find it or to fix it
