screensaver - blank screen

hello

i'm looking for a way to disable the blank screensaver on slitaz3 livecd.

the main problem is the computer doesn't have any internet connection, so i wish there is a way to disable it with only change settings..

thanks you

Re: screensaver - blank screen

xvesa:

Open /etc/slim.conf with nano or leafpad as root.

[c]xserver_arguments dpms[/c]

to

[c]xserver_arguments -dpms[/c]

xorg-server:

[c]tazpkg get-install xorg-xset[/c]

Auto started applications settings are executed after user login.

Preferences>Auto Started Applications>Configuration

Add to the end of the list/save:

[c]#xset[/c]

[c]xset s off; xset -dpms &[/c]

Re: screensaver - blank screen

My monitor normally blanks after 10 minutes.

It's been over an hour and it still shows the desktop.

Maybe someone else will reply with another method.

Re: screensaver - blank screen

On my system "xserver_arguments -dpms" only prevents that the monitor shut off,

screen-blanking is still active.

Please try the xset commands as suggested by mojo

download the Package:

http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/3.0/xorg-xset-1.0.4.tazpkg

and transfer / install it to your PC.
