Ive installed fedora core 2 onto my gateway solo 2500 laptop. Every 10 minutes, or around 10 minutes the screen blanks, although doesnt appear to power down. Im running xfce but I cant seem to find any program which would let me disable this screen blanking. The screen needs to be able to stay on even when the system is idle. How can I disable this?
Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf for "DPMS"-Option in Monitor-Section. Make use of options "BlankTime", "SuspendTime", "StandbyTime" and "OffTime" to optimize this behavior.
Check Man-Pages for more detailed informations:
#> man xorg.conf

Im running a headless installed of fedora core 2 with no X interface installed, yet my screen still blanks itself after 10 minutes. As far as I can tell, this type of behaviour is disable in bios, and didnt occur when I was running win2k server on the same machine.
You're experiencing a console screen blank. To disable it:
setterm -blank 0
Does this just apply to my current session? Going back to the login prompt my display still blanks after 10 minutes or so. Is there somewhere i can set no blanking as the default behaviour?
