I followed this website to create a digital picture frame. Everything but the part about blanking the screen. My problem is the screen blanks after about 5 or 10 minutes and I don't want it to. I used DSL installed to the harddrive and run the scripts that the site used, but I start the script in rc5.d. It works great, does what I want, but after 10 minute the screen goes blank. How can I turn off the, I guess it's a powersave mode?

I had installed the xscreensaver, but I deleted all the xscreensaver files in the usr/bin directory.

Screen blanking is part of the video, and I believe screen blanking is enabled with or without xscreensaver.

You could fiddle around with xset for on-the-fly settings, or edit the .xserverrc (or /etc/XF86Config-4 if you're using the XFree86.dsl extension), though.

Thanks for the reply. I did end up adding "xset s off &" to the start up script and .xinitrc.

The project turn out great. DSL was a great choice.
