Changing the timing of the screensaver from the kernel console and X11???
Sorry for the n00b kind of question, but I honestly dont know how to change the time for the screensaver to start...
I wanna configure the screensaver of the console and X.org... thanks! |
To change the console (aka text mode, no X) screen powersaving options check out the setterm command.
setterm powersaving options stolen directly from the man page: Code:
-powersave on|vsync |
If you use xscreensaver as jtshaw pointed, try running: xscreensaver-demo
|
Thanks for the answers guys.
But here's an issue... if I start xscreensaver-demo, it says that the daemon is not running... and if I leave the computer in X, without use for 10 minutes aprox... it gets black screen, now that's odd... maybe its using the screensaver of the kernel... is that possible? |
Xwindow use DPMS by default if it detects it on your monitor.
To disable that you need to use [code] xset -dpms There is screensaver control there too xset --help in console in xwindow would give you a good idea. If you set it this way, you need to include the command into .xinitrc. So that the settings are set everytime you restart xwindow. |
Nope, the X server comes with DPMS enabled by default and with default configuration (blank screen after 10 mins :P). You can avoid it by running xscreensaver (the daemon) and then set it using xscreensaver-demo (note that you'll need to run the daemon everytime you start X).
