You likely have another issue other than a screen saver if its
unresponsive.  Applications -> Desktop Prferances -> Advanced
->Screensaver has the power saving options in it for me..

Of course if the screensaver is causing the other issue to act up
then stopping the screensaver maybe enough.

Kde has something similar, and you can probably just enter it in the
xorg.conf file or whatever xserver you have.  Look for an example file
perhaps.

Can you ssh in?  Perhaps you can figure out something from there.

Have you timed it?  Screensavers have fixed timeouts.  Can you keep it
alive by hitting a key every now and then?
