I have a Dell Precision M4500 and it seems there are multiple screen savers in use. I am running Gnome on 11.3 and although the Gnome screen saver is turned off, the screen blanks after 5 minutes of movie-watching. This happens in the framebuffer too (Ctrl-Alt-F1) but not in the console (Ctrl-Alt-F2). I don't know how to turn this off. Does someone know how to disable this screen saver?
Add to your ~/.xinitrc after the comment ==== # # Add your own lines here... # ==== these two commands ==== xset s off xset -dpms ==== If you don't have a .xinitrc, copy .xinitrc.template from ~/ or /etc/skel. On the console, the following in ~/.profile or even /etc/profile.local might help: ==== setterm -blank 0 setterm -powersave off setterm -powerdown 0 ==== See 'man 1 xset' and 'man 1 setterm'.
