I tried putting Option "NoPM" "on" in XF86Config file in XFree 4 but still
the monitor goes in standby mode. This is happening because of this :
--------------------------------------------------
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 600 cycle: 600
--------------------------------------------------
I am puzzled here. Earlier I was using KDE and now I am using icewm. My
.xinitrc file was as follows :
---------------------------
xset -dpms
imwheel -k -p &
kfm &
icewm
---------------------------
As you can see kde screensaver etc. are not involved here, but still in
icewm xset q gives timeout : 600. As a result the monitor goes in stand by
mode after 10 minutes. Now in icewm I changed kde screensaver setting to
noscreensaver. But still timeout shows 600.
Than I thought of loading kde instead of icewm and changed the screensaver
setting to noscreensaver and than when I typed xset q in konsole I got the
following :
--------------------------------------------------
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 0 cycle: 600
--------------------------------------------------
As you can see timeout has become 0 now. But after quitting kde and loading
icewm the timeout goes back to 600 seconds. I think this is the main reason
for monitor going in stand by mode. Why is the xset setting gets changed
after loading a different windows manager ?
Finally I tried by putting xset s 0 in .xinitrc file and voila it made
timeout 0,
Now my .xinitrc file is as follows :
---------------------------
xset -dpms s 0
imwheel -k -p &
kfm &
icewm
---------------------------
Thanks a lot Shanu, Sriji & Sreangsu.
Warm Regards
