I have a FC5 laptop driving a projector. After about 25 minutes of inactivity the screen blanks, regardless of my settings. This is rather unfortunate as the projector is in use this week in a theatre, where it need to be on continuously for at least 90 minutes. I have the following: System > Preferences > Screensaver blank screen idle after 2 hours (this is the maximmum) don't activate screensave when session is idle System > Preferences > More Preferences > Power management Running on AC put display to sleep: Never put computer to sleep: Never Running on battery: put display to sleep: Never put computer to sleep: Never My questions: 1) is there anything I'm doing wrong, or is this a bug? 2) Is there any short-term workaround - eg hacking a config file of gconf directly? It's an Intel 855GM chipset with the i810 driver. I have the display set to dual head, spanning desktops. -- The optimist believes that he lives in the best of all possible worlds.
