Is it possible to lower the OS X screen saver timeout to something less than 3? What I'm trying to do is use Frontpage to play an iTunes playlist but I want the screen to use a screen saver after one minute.

I assume the setting is in a file somewhere but not sure where. Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Try the instructions here

I was able to start my screen saver in 15 seconds using this series of bash commands:

Code:
for mac in $(ifconfig | grep ether | awk -s '{print $2}' | sed 's/://g' )
do
defaults write ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.$mac idleTime 15
done

Change the 15 to 60 for 1 minute (obviously :))
