Hi,
when the gui fails, just open a console on the display and type
xset -dpms
which disables DPMS (Energy Star) features.
This approach is "moderately brutal", but it was effective on another
distro.....

Hi all, I have a compaq nx9040 which I wish to use for a continuous slide

I am using kde, running on mains power, Display power control not enabled,
blank screen saver selected & set to start after 500 mins (over 8 hrs)
What have i missed which is permitting screen blanking
TIA
