Hi,I am using Debian Lenny on x86 machine. I need to make the following command permanent upon every boot:xset s off -dpms I am booting into GNOME with GDM. I have tried adding this to my /home/user/.xinitrc file: #!/bin/bash xset s off -dpms and made it executable: chmod +x .xinitrc but it is not able to retain the setting. Thanks.
You will probably want to remove gnome-power-manager from your gnome session. It will turn the monitor back on, ignoring what you set with xset.
