Help Adding Screen Blanking Timeout For Xvesa

RunMeDown · 01-14-2010, 11:42 AM

Howdy folks,

Aboard TinyCore 2.7 and opting to run without Xorg. I'm needing either a pointer or syntax example. Seems my monitor supports dpms after executing a quick one-two with:

$ xset s blank

$ xset s 150

Yet I'm unsure how it would look placed in Tinys .xsession:

Code:

Xvesa -br -screen 1024x768x32 -shadow -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
waitforX
"$DESKTOP" 2>/tmp/wm_errors &
export WM_PID=$!
[ -n "$THEME" ] && cp /opt/jwmThemes/"$THEME" .jwmrc-theme
if [ -n "$BACKGROUND" ]; then
  setbackground image /opt/backgrounds/"$BACKGROUND"
else
  [ -x ./.setbackground ] && ./.setbackground 
fi
[ "$ICONS" == "wbar" ] && /usr/bin/wbar.sh 
[ -x ./.mouse_config ] && ./.mouse_config &
[ $(which flit) ] && flit &
[ $(which watcher) ] && watcher -g +0-0 &

Thanks.

I would try just adding them to the end of the file following the same structure as the other objects.
xset s blank &
xset s 150

Hey Affinity, sorry to say it didn't workout. What you did instead was push me into another round of trial and error. Recalling Xvesa's cli options I went with what seemed logical, namely tossing in the v and s switches (screensaver blanking and timeout in minutes respectively). To note, these settings waitforX and wouldn't work placed in rc.local.

Code:

Xvesa -br -screen 1024x768x32 v -s 2 -shadow -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
waitforX

Thanks all the same.
