Hi all. Have this small problem and as a relative newcomer to LINUX it's a bit of a poser.
I cannot disable the Xterm screen blanker in a script file but I can if I enter commands
manually. Here's the griff:
MDK 9.2 running xterm in F7 console on LCD touch screen.
screen blanks after 10 minutes.
.xinitrc
/usr/bin/mozilla -P almeter /var/www/html/gui.swf &
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm s off
Have checked for X11:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
and the options: StandbyTime, SuspendTime, OffTime and DPMS.
None are apparent.
APM is not enabled in kernel.
BIOS power management disabled.
There is no window manager.
Have also tried:
setterm -blank 0
I have also tried delays in .xinitrc in case another console is
resetting blanking after mozilla (& X-Window) have loaded.
However, if I kill mozilla and type..
]# xset s off
]# /usr/bin/mozilla -P almeter /var/www/html/gui.swf
.. screen blanking is disabled.
What the $£*!! am I not doing? Or doing what I shouldn't?
Any help appreciated
Peter H.
