gnome desktop - screen blanking
 

Hello!

hmmm .. I disabled the screensaver and power options but the screen still goes blank after a few minutes? Any ideas on where else to look for the cause of this?

Thanks!

power shiz
 

did you disable it in the kernel? to do so, you should have compiled a kernel without acpi or .. the other power management thing (I've been drinking and don't recall correctly atm.) apm I think? yeah apm. don't compile those in and you shouldn't have any power management at all.

Gnome.............I can't say I like it much. It seems to be a bit stroppy compared to KDE. It also seems to have got worse as time's gone on, they keep removing things and changing the file manager. Why? When I first used it on RH 5.2 it seemed ok.

xscreensaver then enter gui will appear change the settings
