Hello,

I have a problem with my sid installation. The screen is turning blank
after about 30s of inactivity on mouse/keyboard. I have already set dpms
mode off (xset -dpms) and deactivated the screensavers (xset s 0), but
no luck. Has anybody any idea what might be the reason or how I could
debug the situation?

Thanks, Felix




Here is a script I use on one box.

case $1 in
  standby|suspend|off)
    xset dpms force $1
  ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 standby|suspend|off"
  ;;
esac

then you can turn off running nameOfScript.sh off
