This is driving me nuts. I have an Opensuse system I use as a mythfrontend. How the heck to you stop screen blanking on Opensuse 12.2 running gnome? I've tried every setting I can find that has to do with power or screen saver, yet after about 20 mins it the screen starts to fade to black/blank. Hitting a key on the remote does nothing to stop the blanking, I have to physically hit a key on the keyboard attached to the system.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, James Hi What do you see from the output of 'xset q' in a terminal, then look at xset --help on disabling blanking.

And maybe the "screen blanking" is not coming from your operating system but from the bios. Check your bios settings. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
