display gets turned off after some minutes

Student · 2012-02-10 18:20:39

I have installed Slitaz 3.0 (Openbox with XVESA driver)!

After some minutes (~5min.) the display is turned off.

How can i configure it, that the display is always on?

Regards,

Student

But if you move the mouse or click on the keyboard it comes back in a second?

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

xserver_arguments= change dpms to -dpms

and restartx

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

This is actually something I was looking for, so thanks gibor. Now I have a fully functional screensaver with xautolock and xlockmore smile

i have tried that:

i have midified the file: "xserver_arguments -dpms"

logout, login...

but it didn't work :-(

@michaelbischof: yes, when i move my mouse it comes back

have you any other ideas?

You may need to restart for it to take effect.

@Student

That is the usual behaviour. After some minutes it gets dark. If you want to change that - listen to Trixar_za!

How do I turn off the screensaver?

tazpkg -gi xset

Preferences>Auto Started Applications>Configuration

Add to the end of the list/save:

#xset

xset s off; xset -dpms &
