Title: change screen time out in x
Post by: manit123 on September 07, 2012, 11:45:41 PM: 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 ?

xset s off
