xterm question


Hi everyone,

Happy holidays,

i have one question. I made some application which is launched automaticallly when system boots to runlevel 3,

using /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e program1

(it needs some sdl stuff o i use X server resources)

The problem is: After some time the screen goes into standby mode(incativity mode) , when i move the mouse or press a button on keyboard the screen gomes back. Can i dissable the susspend mode somehhow ?

I turned off every suspend and apm in BIOS .

Also i dropped out every apm daemon from runlevels.

Distros are Red hat 7.3 and mandrake 9.2 but the result is the same.



Thx...

yes you can disable suspend mode on your monitor. Just run the Xscreensaver daemon and set it to be disabled, then your screen will stay on :-)
