I whipped up some rough, simple versions:Is that all you have to do nowadays ?I think that back in 2003 or so, I had to hunt down four settings in four different places, one as a "xset s off" command, one as "killall xscreensaver" (or the equivalent in a dialogue), one as... perhaps another "xset" command about dpmi, and then there was a BIOS setting.I overlooked one of the four settings, and it was a big shame, as a gallery employee had to come in several times per hour to press any key.
Well, I did do other things, but it was the final thing that actually seemed to work. Perhaps I needed to do all of them. I also did:
xset s off apt-get remove gnome-screensaver (set the screensaver and power management prefs to none)That's why it would be awesome to have this all in a simple-to-use [screensaver] object. I added some more stuff to my [gnome- screensaver] object:
