[SOLVED] unwanted screen blanking
« on: December 10, 2013, 08:12:49 AM »
 As a follow on from this
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,5647.0.html

I need to stop the screen blanking after a few minutes. Using X version 1.14.2, neither inserting "xset s off" into .xsession or bootlocal have any effect. The original thread is old now, so is there an updated method for preventing the screen from blanking?

Thats the one. I had tried both options singly, but it needs the s off and -dpms together.

thanks.
