X and Fluxbox :: Screen blacks out...

Quote (khagberg @ Dec. 06 2005,14:37)

If yo do xset q it will show you the current screen saver settings. Note that timeout is set for 600 which is 10 minutes.

I ran xset s off

rerun xset q and the timeout will be 0 which means that the screensaver is disabled.

Hope it works for you.

Your tip worked for me. Thanks

UPDATE:
the xset s off only work to next reboot. I'm searching for a better solution.

Edit the .xinitrc file in your home dir and insert:

xset s off &

for example at the beginning of the file.
This works!

Here is what I just did that worked. I booted into root then opened aterm typed in xset q and looked at the info then typed xset s noblank hit enter then typed xset q hit enter. verified that it set my screensaver to noblank and the two setting that said 600 to 0. now my screen does not blank out.
