Hi, On both my monitors the screen blanks when you do not use it for a time.Anybody has an idea who is in charge of this? I don't have a screen saver. Just plain XFree86 under Sarge with the Nvidia closed source driver.I would like to disable it in some cases.
Thanks Folks for the answers! The best I get disabling dpms is 20 minutes with either: Option "BlankTime" "3600" in "ServerLayout" or -s 3600 in the start options for the server. Raising this to 7200 has no effect: 20 minutes is all she gets... Problem is that the log acknowledges dpms as an option but does not record its behavior. This is with Sarge's XFree86.
