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)

After your logged in as root:
[c]vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf[/c]
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.
[c]cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf~[/c]
If the edit doesn't work restore the backup:
[c]cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf[/c]

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 [attachment=33408,1659]

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.
Offline
Login as root
Type
[c]rm[/c]
Hit the spacebar to make a space
Type
[c]/etc/X11/xorg.conf[/c]
Hit the Enter key
reboot
If that doesn't bring the desktop back you have other problems.

You have to install [c]xorg-xset[/c] 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)
[c]xset -dpms && xset s off[/c]
or just:
[c]xset -dpms s off[/c]

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?
Offline
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?
