something not right with screensaver
|
|
| Jean-David Beyer 2007-07-17, 1:14 am |
| I am running RHEL5, and the screen goes black after about 15 minutes even
though the run-level 5 screen saver is setup to wait 1 hour and 2 minutes
and then display a non-black screensaver. My guess is that in addition to
the screensaver that I have consciously set up in GNOME, there may be
another one running on my terminal at a console level? Is this possible? How
would I configure it to not be applied when running at run level 5; i.e.,
when I am running metacity and GNOME?

Type
bash$ xset q
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
...
use
bash$ xset -dpms
to turn it off if desired.

Do I do it once and for all? Or do I put it in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bashprofile?

/etc/profile, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.kshrc wherever works for you. Probably
only want to do it if DISPLAY is set:
[[ -n "${DISPLAY}" ]] && xset -dpms
