I have doing some info-monitor system with mini-box pc.
Feather linux boot from usb momory key.
It has perl and smbmount what i need there.
Problem is that power saver cut singnal from screen
after 10 minutes and you have to press button or move mouse to wake up it.
Screen should be allways up.
I have tested boot (syslinux.cfg) with noapm and noacpi etc.
Nothing works.
Does anybody know how to generate fake press button or move mouse event
with writing (running at backround) script.
Or if you know some other small linux running from usb memory key.
There have to be smbmount ( or mount.cifs).

Hi
When booting up it starts X and Flux (via .xinitrx).
If I open xterm and try command setterm -powersave off
it say "cannot (un)set powersave mode"
If I stop "X" and return to tty1 then I
manage to use that command.
Result is that after ten minutes only
some bolted char stay visible.
Then when I startx manually so after 10 minutes screen say
again "no singnal"
There is proces name kampd which I thing
do that. I can't kill it.
Hi
Thanks a lot Uselpa.
You show me direction!
I finally found settings for power save off.
I found them from http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bi...nux/KioskSetup
"Koji also figured out how to disable screen blanking by adding the following lines to the .xinitrc"
setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
xset s off
