Re: Screen Saver
Nop, not the motherboard, thats one of the first things I checked.
I'm able to control it now using the following commands:
xset s off (for xwindows, will not go blank after 10 minutes)
setterm -blank 0 (for my console sessions, does not go blank at all)
Should these options be run as root ??
