I changed the Xorg.conf.d to xorg.conf.d but its made no diff, I am still looking at the color cycling screen in 10 minutes.
What else did you do? I still see 4 copies of light-locker in an htop report. ack the log, that file is not being read, so >From the Xorg.0.log: [24.179] (==) Using system config directory /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d So I'm going put that file there and reboot. And its being read. from the Xorg.0.log: [ 24.733] (**) Option "BlankTime" "0" [ 24.733] (**) Option "StandbyTime" "0" [ 24.733] (**) Option "SuspendTime" "0" [ 24.733] (**) Option "OffTime" "0" which is the same as if it was in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but with your additions before and after that stanza. then about a screen later: [ 24.846] (**) Extension "DPMS" is disabled but a second+ later: [ 25.150] (==) intel(0): DPMS enabled [ 25.150] (==) intel(0): Display hotplug detection enabled [ 25.151] (II) intel(0): [XvMC] i915_xvmc driver initialized. [ 25.151] (II) intel(0): [DRI2] Setup complete so something else is turning it back on. But its not in that directory: gene@lathe:/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d$ grep DPMS * 10-monitor.conf: Option "DPMS" "Disable" take a look at /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver. It has a bad rash of DPMS's in it. > -------------------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 > > -------------------8<------------------------------ Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
