I've been googling for ways to prevent the screensaver from blanking the screen every 10 min in the Raspbian Wheezy Ubuntu GUI. I've found 2 reasonable-sounding methods that had no effect at all, seems there's a lot of confusion on this. Was using a raspbian boot image from October last year, now using the raspbian image that came out last month (July 27?).
One kludge that occured to me was have a cron task that simulated a slight mouse movement or press of the shift key every 5 minutes, but not obvious to me if/how that would be possible. Alternatively, I could bypass the whole GUI if I knew how to make the whole screen a drawable-canvas in python from the command-line mode... I know graphics should be possible, since there's that color raspi logo up in corner whole time, and since I can run video via omxplayer from the non-GUI mode shell prompt. In general, would be nice to know if anyone is working on fun pi projects... I'm trying to get a wordcloud program running on it as part of an interactive art display. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
