Disable screensaver

[humberaquino]

Hello people,

How can I want to disable screensaving at all on fitpc2 running ubuntu 9.10.
I installed the system using deboostrap with the fitpc2 kernel and graphics drivers according to the wiki page http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title ... buntu_9.10.
I added:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "BlankTime" "0"
    Option "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option "SuspendTime" "0"
    Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Humber

System->Preferences->Screensaver, uncheck "Activate screensaver" checkbox.

Thanks Denis.
But I don't have a windows manager (e.g. gnome) installed. Only xorg.
I start the server with 'startx' and the only application I need to run.
How can I disable it from the command line or a configuration file?

Thanks again

Hi everybody.

I found a solution.

Code: Select all

xset s off
xset -dpms
xset s reset

The first disables the screen saver, the second the power energy saver, and the third resets the timers and disables the screensaver if active.

Cheers
