Re: [gentoo-user] Disable Screen Blanking

 Hi,

 i am trying to disable Screen Blanking but have been unsuccessful so far.

 I used various methods:

 * installed gnome-power-manager and disabled screen power saving
 * setterm -blank 0
 * echoing setterm -blank 0 to the dev/ttyXs
 * xset s off
 * Kernel parameter in Grub consoleblank=0

 A kernelsetting for this seem to have existed in older kernels, but
 seems to have vanished in recent ones.

 All methods have failed.

 Does anyone know of a way to just keep the screen on?

 Thanks,
 Norman


I have in my openbox autostart.sh xset -dpms s off. this disables the
sceensaver (as you tried), but also turns Energy Star (DPMS) features off.
So no power management turns off the screen.
