Screensaver active by default?Forum: X and Fluxbox Topic: Screensaver active by default? started by: tomv Posted by tomv on May 23 2006,21:18
Is a screensaver on by default? My Toshiba Tecra 530CDT screen goes blank after about 10-15 min and won't come back when I press keys or move the mouse. Otherwise things are fine, and if I keep using it it's okay. I can press ctl-alt-backspace and get back to the command line, which shows up fine, and run startx and I'm back in business - but of course my X programs have all died when I get back into X. I'm guessing there might be a screensaver enabled by default, that I need to get rid of? Any troubleshooting tips? Posted by mikshaw on May 24 2006,00:33
xset -s offTry adding that to the beginning of /home/dsl/.xinitrc Posted by tomv on May 25 2006,00:50
xset s off (not -s) seems to work, thanks! Posted by mikshaw on May 25 2006,02:08
I often forget when to use - or -- or nothing, as there is little consistency between applications.Thanks for the correction =o) |
