[SOLVED] Can't find a thread
« on: January 24, 2013, 05:26:30 PM »
I know there is a thread and solution in it to stop the screen from going black but I can't find it. Would whoever knows what I am talking point me to it please?

Another option:

Edit in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as su:

Option "DPMS"  to Option "DPMS"  "false"

Reboot KDE ;)

Unfortunately that didn't work. The only thing that works is setting Screen Energy Saving under power management in configure your desktop to the max of 360 minutes.

my /home/[user]/.kde4/Autostart/noblank.sh

#!/bin/sh
xset s 0 0
xset dpms 0 0 0

finaly does the trick of noscreensaver and noblank.
tested on the computer club with demo and unatended use between 8.00h-15.30h last saturday ;) on 4 PCLos machines.
So screen and powersaver cycle are not switched off but set to zero.
See (terminal) xset --help.
