What are you using to watch the video?
What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

How can anyone POSSIBLY reply with so few details!? We can't see your system etc so you kinda have to fill us in.....

I'm watching a long video and the screen getting dark. I'm just wonder why when i watched or didn't do anything with mouse and keyboard the system understood I don't do anything with my computer.

uninstall gnome-screensaver and install xscreensaver

You can then disable the screensaver and should be ok. If you use VLC it will autodisable the screensaver for you. I asked what app you were using to watch the videos, yet you didn't say......

Ok, did the xscreensaver package help, you will need to tell it to not start the screensaver etc. You can even kill the screensaver altogether.

Why did you not say you were watching youtube vids in the initial question? Why did I have to ask?
