I'm having this problem with DOSBox that I previously didn't have. Whenever I lock the mouse in the application and play/use DOSBox as usual, the screensaver keeps popping up, no matter how much I move the mouse or type on the keyboard. However when I set DOSBox to not lock my mouse that doesn't happen. I've contacted the DOSBox devs and they pointed out that it might be a SDL issue, so I came here to ask.

Code:
$ xset -q
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  600    cycle:  600
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 600    Suspend: 1200    Off: 0
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On
$ apt-cache policy libsdl1.2debian
