Re: How to disable screen blanking?

2012-11-16 Thread Lawrence H. Bulk 
Dear Ralf,

Go into the Settings Manager; open Screensaver; go into the *Advanced* Tab
and make certain that, under Display Power Management, Power Management
Enabled is *unchecked*. Also make sure that Fade to Black when Blanking is
also *unchecked*.

This should fix the problem. Please let me know.

Lawrence

 Hi :),

 how can I disable screen blanking for Quantal?

 spinymouse@qrc:/mnt/music/quantal/01song$ sudo xset -dpms
 [sudo] password for spinymouse:
 spinymouse@qrc:/mnt/music/quantal/01song$ xset s off
 spinymouse@qrc:/mnt/music/quantal/01song$ setterm -powersave off -blank
 0 setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Invalid argument

 I already disabled the screensaver and power settings by GUI.

 Regards,
 Ralf

what kind for graphics card is it? maybe the nvidia/amd restricted
driver is preventing it.

I'm using the open source ATI driver, the proprietary driver for my
card doesn't work with current X.
