Subject: [gentoo-user] Disable Screen Blanking
Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:37:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51DAB279.4010905@smash-net.org> (raw)

Hi,

i am trying to disable Screen Blanking but have been unsuccessful so far.

I used various methods:

* installed gnome-power-manager and disabled screen power saving
* setterm -blank 0
* echoing "setterm -blank 0" to the dev/ttyXs
* xset s off
* Kernel parameter in Grub consoleblank=0

A kernelsetting for this seem to have existed in older kernels, but
seems to have vanished in recent ones.

All methods have failed.

Does anyone know of a way to just keep the screen on?

Thanks,
Norman
