GNOME Blank Screensaver
Hi all, Does anyone know how to set up a blank screensaver under GNOME? I've checked web and newsgroup archives and I can't find a solution that works! I'm running Debian unstable. Even if I add a file in /usr/share/control-center/.data called Blank.desktop with these contents: [Desktop Entry] Name=Blank Screensaver Comment= Exec=xscreensaver-command -activate TryExec= Terminal=0 Type=Application [Screensaver Data] WindowIdCommand= RootCommand= Icon= Author= ExtendedComment= Demo= I get a random screensaver! Many thanks, Adam

Many thanks, Adam I think if you run xscreensaver-demo and deselect all the screensavers, it will do you you want.

How do I disable the automatic blank screensaver that kicks in? -Russell May
Re: Blank screensaver
xset -s off Personally, I stuck this in the end (almost) of the /etc/X11/Xsession file so that it get automatically turned off when I (or anybody else) log in. Otherwise, you could put it in your .xinitrc file, or whatever else get's automatically loaded when you start your x session.

Under X, if you're running xscreensaver, disable it from your .xinitrc or /etc/X11/Xsession file. You can also change setting with the command xscreensaver-command -prefs and the dialog it brings up. Also under X, you may be getting a blanked screen through xset and the DPMS (Energy Star) features . Refer to the manpage for xset on how to disable this. I believe xset +dpms will do it. Under console, you'll want to tweak with setterm and its powersave options. -- Karsten M. Self kmself@ix.netcom.comhttp://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of Gestalt don't you understand?
