timeout not able to be changed on xdm with fluxbox
I am having trouble finding out which files to edit in order to change the timeout settings.
I have Code:
x11 wdm fluxbox openbox afterstep windowmaker I have a vga monitor plus s-video to a tv. The tv also servers as my speakers. With timeout set at the default 10 minute mark it makes it to where I am unable to watch movies, listen to music, practice my guitar using Rakarrack. I have searched to web and have not been able to locate anything helpful with this. I should also mention that it is a Debian based system installed via Debian net-installer. The goal was to install a lightweight system due to the low ram available of only 1Gig. Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? With the searches I have done some of the files that have been mentioned such as x11org.config are not able to be located. |
Hi,
Did you try xset? For example, typing Code:
xset -dpms s off Regards, Esteban |

Will I have to set every time after a reboot or will it stay off till set different? Update: It seems to have worked but haven't rebooted to see if it stays. |
Hi,
It won't stay after reboot. Take a look at this old thread to see how to run the command each time you start X (edit .xinitrc or .xsession). Best regards, Esteban |
