Any way to disable the screensaver while emerging?

Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

It would be nice if I could set it to deactivate the screensaver (or better yet, set it to blank), while Portage is compiling software. My screensaver is quite computationally heavy...

If you're using xscreensaver, check the manual for xscreensaver-command, it allows control from the command line. You could probably wrap emerge in a function / script to automatically do this.
Well, the Sister was right. You boys could use a little churching up. Slide on down to the Triple Rock, and catch Rev. Cleophus. You boys listen to what he's got to say.
