X and Fluxbox :: Screen Saver Question

I installed DLS on a Toshiba Satellite 110 CT. Everything works fine except screen saver.

I used :

xset s on
xset s 1

Nothing happens. If I connect the laptop to an external monitor, it works. However, if I add

xset s noblank

It will work on laptop's internal display. A big X will be displayed.

How can I fix the problem. As an alternative, anyone know if i can change the standard big X picture to a picture of complete black wall to simulate a screen off.

Thanks.

The laptop monitor doesn't support blanking?

I guess you could try xscreensaver.

Thank you thehatsrule. Yes, the blank does not work on laptop's own monitor. But if I set it to noblank (xset s noblank). A white background with a black X will displayed as the screensaver.

I tried your suggestion of xscreensaver. But the system does not have such command

.

help please.

Yea, it's an external program. See mydsl.

I downloaded the xscreensaver. It works as a screen saver. However, my problem remains -- how can I turn off the screen whenever i need it?

I know the command is
xset s on
xset s 1

but they just would not work on my old toshiba 110ct.

The screensaver can not really turn off the screen.

The laptop BIOS has power save mode. but then i lost control of it from my program
