fluxbox, black screen after 10 minutes
Running FluxBox (the one that comes with Slack10.1), and after 10 minutes of inactivity my screen goes black. If I move the mouse, it comes back. I'd prefer if it just never went black at all (or maybe set it to 2 hours or something). I have apm disabled in rc.modules, so I don't know what else this could be. Any ideas?
PS: I DO have KDE installed (just qt, arts, libs, base, and network packages), but I don't run it as my wm. I checked kcontrol, but didn't see anything related to this (screensaver is disabled in there). Might I have to install the kdeadmin package (if KDE is the culprit here, I mean)? |
Run the command "xscreensaver -demo" and take a look at the settings tab.
PS APM doesn't affect your monitor turning off, that's DPMS; which can be disabled in your .xinitrc or .xsession file and putting in the command "xset -dpms" or something (run "man xset" for a full list of options, or "xset -help" |
That a configuration of the X server. If you want to disable it you've to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
You can find information about this with man xorg.conf and going to the ServerFlags section, it says the default BlankTime it's 10 minutes. I don't know how to disable because the only option is the delay time, but I guess passing 0 should do it. Take a look at your xorg.conf if you've a Section "ServerFlags" and if you don't create it and make it look like: Code:
Section "ServerFlags" |
I opened up xscreensaver -demo and it said the screensaver daemon wasn't running. So for now I am going with the xorg.conf option "BlankTime". I'll update you guys with what happens in 10 minutes :)

yeah, so the BlankTime option works. I have it set to 0 for now. Thanks very much.
