That's automatic display power management. Comes default with how Xenocara is configured, regardless of window manager. Its trivial to tweak that behaviour though. Run $ xset -dpms to disable it temporarily, and $ xset +dpms to re-enable it. It could also be worthwhile to do $ xset s noblank to disable screen blanking. To flop screen blanking back on, $ xset s blank. You can probably configure your .xsession file to run that, or perhaps hack together a toggleable bind for CWM. I'm not a CWM user, so IDK the specifics on what that could look like. Best of luck to you. This xset stuff *should* be applicable on all X11 sessions that don't implement some sort of their own power management system, as well. Read more about it in the xset(1) manpage: $ man 1 xset Peace- -- -iz (they/them) > i like to say mundane things, > there are too many uninteresting things > that go unnoticed. izder456 (dot) neocities (dot) org
