Stop Screen Blanking

Post by ozsouth »

I seem to be having unwanted screen blanking issues, after this was fixed many years ago. Apparently, the old method of turning dpms off no longer works, as somehow it gets turned on again by ???. A suggested solution is to leave dpms on, but set all timings to 0. To achieve this, in a terminal, I can now run:
xset s 0 0 dpms 0 0 0

I have made a .pet which launches this on startup, after xinitrc has been run. Use at own risk. Must remove any other blanking program, then install by clicking on it in ROX-Filer. Tested OK in ScPup64-20.06, but should be OK in recent pups.
