Disabling screen blanking when idle in fluxbox
 
Sorry for the weird thread title, but I'm not sure what the official term is for what I'm trying to do.

Basically, I'm using fluxbox, and if I do not press a key for 5 minutes my screen goes blank.

I would like to disable this feature, but don't know where to look.

Any ideas?

put this into your ~/.fluxbox/startup, or some other X startup file you use. It will disable the screen blanking. (btw, you used the exact official terms in your title.. (;)
Code:

xset s off
Ofcourse you could also manually enter it every time you want it off.

You could also edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add

Option "DPMS" "off"

--Shade
