Vega Strike doesn't disable *nix screensavers
If VS is played on a machine with a screensaver/screen locker running in the background, the screensaver will kick in during play. This happens, at least, with gnome-screensaver.

Gnome-screensaver will kick in even for me when I'm not playing VS. It just takes some moving of the mouse to restore it whenever the screen starts to fade out :-p
SDL doesn't interact with the desktop manager, and I don't know if it's easy to make it disable the screensaver from inside the game: it would have to detect if you are using gnome, kde, or xscreensaver, and then connect with the DBus.
