I don't think this is a hardware feature coz this doesnt happen under Debian.
Disable screensaver is already selected in vlc's preferences.

When a new version of Puppy is released will it be compatible with the save file of my current installation or will I have to start fresh ?

So... If not from grub's menu.lst file, how do you boot your puppy? From CD? If so, Puppy scans all the disks to find its save folder or file. It'll do the same even if it boots from a bootable USB thumb drive. I tried booting from USB. Used #dd if=/path to iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M to create the media ...
