This settings could be DE dependant.
Which one are you using?

This one can be configured by xset command.

EDIT: of course providing that you use X

can you tell me better

man xset can tell you much better. Look for DPMS and screen saver options. Note that screen saver in this context != xscreensaver or any 'real' screen saver you are using.

in /etc/rc.d/rc.M:

change

Quote:

/bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown -powerdown 60

to

Quote:

/bin/setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0

re-run rc.M, or reboot, whichever suits you.

Also never sleep mode can be set through the DE.
See https://docs.kde.org/cgi-bin/desktop...stable&q=power

xset +dpms and xset -dpms enable and disable screen blanking.
