direct output wakes screensaver

If Saitek Direct Output is not disabled in Services my screensaver does not stay on.

Once it comes on, it will cycle off and then turn on again at the pre-determined time and then it will turn off anywhere from 15 seconds to a couple of minutes and keep repeating the cycle until you eventually disable the screensaver. Same issue when turning off display in Power Options.

For anyone having this issue and using Saitek...it seems to be caused by the mini-mouse on the throttle being too jittery.
