change screen time out in x

[manit123]

I am using tiny core
$uname-a
Linux box 3.0.21-tinycore #3021 SMP Sat Feb 18 11:54:11 EET 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

Everything is fine .
But , When I play video using mplayer--nodeps.tcz . The screen becomes black after 5 minutes due to mouse & keyboard inactivity . It comes back on shaking mouse . IS there a way to change that ?

Create a file /home/tc/.X.d/xset.sh that contains:

xset s off

$ xset s q

Does that mean screen saver after 600 seconds ?

Hi manit123
Yes.

If this is a very old machine, the APM bios also interferes in blanking often.

'xset s off' worked.
thank You.
