The reason is that after the KDE session finished loading, it always sets "prefer blanking" to "yes" (can be found out with "xset q"). So, I have a file "~/.kde/Autostart/disable_screensaver.sh" for each KDE user with permission 755 and the following content: sleep 60 xset s noblank The number after sleep can be 10 or 60 or so and it assures that the KDE session finishes loading before the xset command comes into action. dolphin ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Re: I have problems with the BlankTime Option: Any help?
Hi! Last night, I discussed this issue in a German Debian forum: http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=117290&start=0 Problem mit BlankTime-Option: Screensaver nicht totzukriegen There, I got the essential hint: I have to deal with "xset q" and "xset s". I went some more blind alleys last night. But now, I found some dirty solution that fix my problem. I have to insert the entry "xset s noblank" into a file that is automatically called: - the .bash_profile (is called with each KDE session startup) - the .bashrc (is called with each xterm call / sort of redundant but it makes assurance double sure) This is what I found out after some pondering. The suggestion of Markus to use the .kde/Autostart folder obviously goes the same way. @Markus: The script that you had to wrote, does it consist of the "xset s noblank" entry? If not, then you can post it to give me (and other users searching with Google) some more alternatives. No matter which approach I will choose: All currently known approaches are dirty. I will be forced to write some sort of autostart file. It seems that someone at the corridors of power wants to antiquate the concept of configuration files. Maybe in five years the whole "/etc" directory is replaced bei some intransparent autostart files where I have to encode every wish as a command? dolphin ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
I have problems with the BlankTime Option: Any help?
Hi! Can at least anyone of you reproduce the fact that any modern system with multiple KDE sessions is doomed to run a screensaver after 10 minutes? Or is out there in the wide world someone who is able to get a system with multiple KDE sessions that is absolutely free of screensavers? dolphin ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
I have problems with the BlankTime Option: Any help?
Hi! My humble request is that at no (NO) REALLY NO!! circumstances a screensaver comes into action when I use X.Org. With Debian Etch this is no problem. But, with Debian Lenny, I have a real problem. In the "etc/X11/xorg.conf", I add an entry like that: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen "Screen0" . . . Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection If I let the computer stay at the login screen of KDM, then no screensaver appears. This is fine. If I let the computer stay in a KDE session, then also no screensaver appears. This is fine, too. As long as I have only one KDE session (Ctrl+Alt+F7) at the same time, I have no problems, because I have exhaustingly deactivated all screensavers at the whole system. This was not simple, but now I know the tricks. The problems arise as soon as I use multiple KDE sessions at the same time. For example, user "user" as Ctrl+Alt+F7 and user "root" at Ctrl+Alt+F8. If I let stay the computer in the Ctrl+Alt+F8 session, then after 10 minutes, the screen turns blank (black color). If I let stay the computer in the Ctrl+Alt+F7 session, then also after 10 minutes, the screen turns blank (black color). What could be the reason of this unwanted behavior? How I can solve this problem? Any kind of help would be welcome. I am at my wits' end. dolphin ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
