screensaver

[cavibird]

I changed the setting for 2 hrs, and it still turns on in 10min. This is unacceptable. Anyone know what I need to apt-get remove?? I dont care if there is no Screensaver. Thnx

cavibird,

Create a launcher on your top panel and point it to XScreensaver. It has more/better configuration options. See if that works better than gnome-screensaver.

Edit: The command line should be /usr/bin/xscreensaver --sync when you create the launcher.

In the terminal as normal user..

Code: [Select]

xset qdisplays the status of your screensaver, power saver settings etc..

Code: [Select]

xset s 0 0this will kill your screensaver until your next reboot

Code: [Select]

xset dpms 0 0 0Kills the dpms (power saving) settings, again only for the current session.

Since these manual settings are reset on reboot, you might like to add one or both of the commands to your boot scripts...

Google xset

I'm going to try to delete xscreensaver from usr/bin/ from root.

I've been just using su pkill xscreen which is working

Wish me luck

Good luck with that ... but me thinks you is making a terrible mistake. If you don't run xscreensaver with the --sync parameter, it will be problematic.
