Disabling moniter sleep/powersave

[MCQ]

I have tc installed on some old neoware ca10's at my work for use as public catalogs. We've been having issues with the screens going to sleep and patrons ignoring them thinking they are turned off or out of order.
I've looked through the forums extensively but haven't had a whole lot of luck with solutions posted.
I have "xset s off" in .xsession but it doesn't seem to do  much, same with noblank.
The command xset -dpms results in a reply something along the lines "dpms extension is not installed".
I was thinking about running xorg on the machines and seeing if that would allow me to test the dpms command more successfully, I wasn't sure how that .
Any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks,
MCQ

Have you checked BIOS settings?

Sir you are a gentleman and a scholar. And I'm an idiot  , should've been one of the first places I checked.

I've changed the powersave options and we'll see how it works.

Thanks a bunch,

I'm not having much luck with this either . I've tried a variety of options, even fully disabling acpi.

So I assume that you are running Xvesa. Correct?
