Other Help Topics :: Turning off Screen saver / Power save

Hi,

How do you turn off the screen saver / power save function?

Whenever I leave the system for a while it turns off the monitor and I dont want this to happen.

Thanks

the command "xset s off" should work for most systems.
It apparently doesn't work with some laptops.
This is also only for the graphical environment. If you want to do it for console, it's something like this:
setterm -term linux -blank 0 > /dev/tty1

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
