Hi Guys,

I just remastered a DSL LiveCD to perform a specific task. Everything works great except for two problems.

How do I stop the LCD from turning off after about 30 minutes? And how can I get rid of the mouse pointer that sits in the middle of the screen?

I'm using a hacked Laptop that has no keyboard or mouse attached to it.

Thanks to all in advance!  :)

search the forum for 'picture AND frame' or 'pictureframe'. There are a few people who have outlined how to do the things you are asking about.

You should be able to turn off power management functions in your BIOS setup (yeah, you will have to plug in a keyboard).

I use unclutter to remove the cursor.  On a seperate machine get the debian package and use the deb2dsl script to generate an unclutter.dsl tarball.

I am using DSL with xv/unclutter to do digital picture frames.  I am working on #6 currently.  With all but the last one I have been able to run from a LiveCD or Frugal from a IDE Flash drive.  Since xv is a memory hog, and my current project machine only has 32MB ram, I have to run Frugal off a Harddrive with swap space.
