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

I have in my openbox autostart.sh "xset -dpms s off". this disables the
sceensaver (as you tried), but also turns Energy Star (DPMS) features off.
So no power management turns off the screen.
