Blank screen after 10 minutes (have tried alot)
My problem: the screen goes blank after exactly 10 minutes.
I have looked all around for some solution to this problem but everyone is discussing the same things. Either edit xorg.conf (BlankTime, StandbyTime, SuspendTime and OffTime): Code:
Option "BlankTime" "10" # Blank the screen in 10 minutes (Fake) Code:
setterm -blank 0 How many different things are there that make the screen go blank? I am using Slackware 10 with Fluxbox. Thanks, MezzyMeat |
Try to comment :
Option "dpms" in your Monitor section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
There is no such line at all in that section or even in the whole file. The only lines about DPMS are the ones I wrote before and also
Code:
# Option "standby time" "20" |
What monitor have you (model + manufacturer) ?

I have a Samtron 96P, 19".. I don't know anything more about it without turning the table and cheking it's back after numbers but I hope that won't be necessary.
Is the "blank screen" phenomenon connected to the screen itself? Odd, since for some reason it didn't go blank before for some time, but then I reinstalled slackware and now it's back. This time I don't want to wait until it stops for some strange reason, unkown to me. I want to know what I can do about it. |
If you are using Slack 10 then apm must be on for setterm to work.
