I was wondering if somene of you guys could help me out.

I installed SliTaz 4.0 and I had this little problem: I did not managed mo disable screensaver. So I look it up how to do it, i googoled "slitaz screensaver how to disable it" and found this page:

http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/708/screensaver-howto-disables/p1

So i did what mojo did, added this

Section “ServerFlags”
Option “blank time” “0″
Option “standby time” “0″
Option “suspend time” “0″
Option “off time” “0″
Option “dpms” “false”
EndSection

to the bottom of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
and now SliTaz won't start, instead i get this (see pic)

Key Master

After your logged in as root:
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Put the cursor on each line of the edit you made.
Tap the d key 2 times quickly to delete the line.
After all the lines are deleted:
Tap the Esc key
Hold Shift and tap z key 2 times to save
Reboot

In the future:
Backup the original file before you make the edit.
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf~
If the edit doesn't work restore the backup:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hi, I'm a noob, so please don't take anything for granted when ansewring me. Maybe i did not explain myself right, but I can't go past the black screen w/ white writeing. Question is: can I get Slitaz to open normally like before? All I get is this black screen, and after I log in as root i don't know what to write in the command line

You need to enter the command that @mojo posted EXACTLY as he posted it. You forgot a space between vi and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Login as root
Type
rm
Hit the spacebar to make a space
Type
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Hit the Enter key
reboot

If that doesn't bring the desktop back you have other problems.

You have to install xorg-xset package, don't know if this helps with xorg.conf
But it will be possible to put following commands to autostart script.
(root NOT required)
xset -dpms && xset s off
or just:
xset -dpms s off

Ok, so what should I try first "vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" or "rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ?
and what does vi and rm stand for?

rm stands for remove,also known as delete.
vi is a text editor program.
Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Login as root
Type
rm
Hit the spacebar to make a space
Type
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Hit the Enter key
reboot

If that doesn't bring the desktop back you have other problems.

Will do right now, but after i did the wrong input command and then asked again here, i left the Pc on and this has appeared
Should I disconnect the power or I can go ahead already? (I know, be patient please...)
I mean, just out of curiosity, what just happened there?
