I think I've now unconfused myself. :) Being inclined to install minimal systems with Xfce4 or a WM such as fvwm I mixed up power management with xscreensaver. Installing xscreensaver means it takes over from any xset settings in a configuration file; which makes sense. Purge xscreensaver, log out and back into Xfce4 and what is in ~/.xsessionrc takes effect. As an aside, the only reason I proposed ~/.xsessionrc rather than ~/.xsession as the file to put the xset command in is that I anticipated the OP's setup with gdm3 may not use ~/.xsession. Not wanting to lead him up one blind alley I then possibly went up another. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I only can disable screen blanking by e.g. Xfce's power manager, after I disabled it by xorg.conf, it might be possible to use ~/.xsessionrc too. However, it can be enabled by a power manager, when it's disabled by xorg.conf, but it can't be disable using e.g. Xfce's power manger, if it's not disabled by xorg.conf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Whatever is set in ~/.xsessionrc may be undone by the window manager or DE settings. The tested commands may work in a terminal but they could be overridden during the bringing up of the X session. To illustrate: 'xset r off' works from an xterm in Xfce4; put it in ~/.xsessionrc and it can be reversed by 'Enable key repeat' in Xfce4's keyboard settings. If the WM or DE uses power management facilities 'xset s' may not work in ~/.xsessionrc. So it is quite possible the OP may have to look to getting screen blanking to work within gnome3 using power management. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
