Re: [newbie] Enlightenment ScreenSavers
Todd, Oh, if you figure out the "off" thing -- where the screen just goes black (I'd love it if I could get that to stop so the screen saver really did just run indefinitely, though I turn off the 'xset s noblank' man xset for the myriad of options available. Yes. I've tried it, but it's ignored. Are you sure it's noblank...? Meph -- "I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody." -Dave '-ddt-' Taylor, announcing DOOM for Linux

I will say that I have worked on one system that I absolutely could not get it to stop blanking. My next suggestion would be to look in the BIOS, but now I'm guessing. How about: xset -dpms #turns off dpms -- Blue skies...

Re: [newbie] Enlightenment ScreenSavers
i think what you are refering to is simply the XFree screen blanker kicking in. i have no idea how to configure it, tho it's on my list of things go figure out as i'd like to bump it up to 20 minutes.

I have it set up now in E with the maze screensaver. Don't think it's perfect yet (I'll figure it out eventually). Right now, the maze comes up after 5 minutes (as I'd set it to), but though I'd set the screen to go off after an indefinite time, it goes black at varying times (10-60 minutes).
