It's 10 minutes. Not that that is any better.
The automatic lock is a truly terrible thing for those of us with no
keyboard in the same building as the CNC machine.
The auto-lock is "light-locker"
I have not worked out exactly what is doing the blanking, it seems
that is it both DMPS _and_ the screensaver, but that the screensaver
defaults to blanking as no actual screensaver is installed.
The fix seems to be to create a file in etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (I called
it 10-monintor.conf) containing
-------------------8<------------------------------
# Attempt to turn off all screensavers and screen blanking.
# You don't want that on a CNC controller
Section "Extensions"
Option "DPMS" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "ServerLayout0"
EndSection
