Screensaver Howto disable?
  • fopeteslfopetesl March 2010
    Hi, all. I'm trying to set up a kiosk mode on an LCD screen.
    The 'default' screensaver (blank screen) is unnecessary and somewhat annoying.
    How to disable both screensaver and blanking?

    slitaz-2.0 uses Xvesa
    Xvesa -help
    shows you the options
    they are passed to Xvesa by slim login manager
    You may have to experiment with this.
    I would begin with turning off monitor powersave mode aka dpms
    open /etc/slim.conf with nano or leafpad as root
    xserver_arguments= change dpms to  -dpms

    or remove it

    I hope you get a solution for the multiple nic cards :)

    problem: no Xvesa (xvesa) - all I get is
    sh: Xvesa: not found
    Same result with all file searches even case insensitive :(

    root@Peter:/ uname -a
    Linux Peter 2.6.30.6-slitaz #1 SMP Sun Jan 3 20:16:03 CET 2010 i686 unknown

    Also seems not installable :(

    In /etc/slim.conf: default_server /usr/bin/Xorg

    xserver_arguments ... is commented out (not by me)

    No answer to NIC problem either. :-((

    which iso are you using?- I think the new cooking. I had the same problem with the november cooking iso and I did not manage to solve this - I used the snow-dillo iso

    http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/cooking-snow/README.html

    it never blanks

    tested also the new cooking firefox iso for 15 min - not blanking...

    I wish mine blanked...
    My Dell LCD never blanks in cooking-20100221
    Didn't touch the mouse or kbrd for over an hour.
    All I saw was the desktop.
    So I couldn't test the fix below.

    Add this to the bottom of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    Section “ServerFlags”
    Option “blank time” “0″
    Option “standby time” “0″
    Option “suspend time” “0″
    Option “off time” “0″
    Option “dpms” “false”
    EndSection


    Found here:
    http://www.randombugs.com/linux/disable-monitor-standby-xorg-xserver.html

    Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if this doesn't work.

    I notice no xset, no tazpkg with it.

    Black screen error trying to load the ati driver for Rage 2c have to use vesa, my wireless doesn't work.

    I'll never leave slitaz-2.0, on my hardware everything works.

    OK this works in /home/user/.xinitrc:
    Last few lines...
    xfce|xfce4|xfce4-session)
    xfce4-session ;;
    *)
    xset s off
    xset s noblank
    xset s noexpose
    xset c on
    xset -dpms
    exec $WINDOW_MANAGER ;;
    esac

    No blanking, no screensaver. :-))

    I'd like to find the time to try the xorg.conf option but have business travel for the next 11 days :(

Howdy, Stranger!
