Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2013 7:57 am Post subject: Disabling screen saver with Xorg [SOLVED] |
|
|
Hi,
I installed Gentoo on an old pc to use it as supervision screen to monitor incident tickets in my department.
I have set the system to logon atuomatically and startx, then start awesome, chromium and use xrandr to switch to an external monitor.
Below is what I set in .xinitrc:
Code: |
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off && xrandr -s 1280x1024 &
exec /usr/bin/chromium --kiosk http://frplanning/noauth/dsc/it/dashboard/remedy.php &
exec /usr/bin/xset -dpms &
exec /usr/bin/awesome
|
Since this screen is used for monitoring (this screen will be attached to the wall) I need it to be always on (no screen saving).
using xset -dpms doesn't seem to work here, I also tried xset s off...
Any idea?

When I tried it with xset -dpms or xset s off alone it didn't worked either but with:
in combination it should work. _________________ "I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language!" |

Ok thanks will try that right away.
Also while writing this post was wondering if I need to start awesome at all, should be possible to run chromium without any window manager, shouldn't it? _________________ Powered by Gentoo Linux since 2003 |

Obviously it should work, but because I was not quite sure I've tired to launch firefox in a pure X-environment and it worked. So only an X-server is needed... _________________ "I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! Do you see the absurdity of what I am?
