Blank Screen after short period of inactivity
I'm running Debian etch and a couple of weeks ago, my screen (laptop) now goes blank after a few minutes of inactivity, it never used to do this. I checked the settings for the screensaver and power management and I have them set not to use any screensaver and to never turn off the monitor.
Today, I removed gnome-screensaver, but that didn't help. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to correct? |
what's the output of 'xset -q' ?

Take a look at dpms .. is this in your config ?

Thanks,
xset -q gives me: Quote:

Ok, I disabled dpms by typing:
xset -dpms I now get Quote:

Code:
xset -dpms s off |
That seems to do the trick. I will lose this after I log off or reboot, correct? How would I have this set always?
Anyone know why this started to happen? Like I said, it only started a couple of weeks ago. |
