Unhappy Screen goes blank after some Idle time


Hi Guys,

My Desktop goes blank/black/off after some idle time. I don't know wt's the problem. My system is running Linux Fedora7.

Linux user 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Can anyone please help me... I really got frustrated and annoyed of my system behaviour.

Thanks in-advance,
Praveen.

Even more important, did you try searching for previous threads about it? It's not like this hasn't been asked before.

Hi Guys,

I tried following steps and it is working fine for me...

I went to system options:
System > Preference > look and feel > Screen Saver

I clicked "Power Management" option then "On Ac Power" and choose the option "Computer to sleep" to --> "Never"

Thanks,
Praveen.
