How to disbable screen saver and power management

Hi guys

I'm doing some school work and created a box which does nothing but stream videos on a network. This box runs Fedora 5 with gnome desktop manager.

Because all the box is doing is playing video there is no activity (there is no keyboard or mouse plugged in). Is there any way to disable the power mode and stop the screen saver. I need to monitor to stay on.

Thanks
