Greetings all
Thanks for the info about Xscreensaver.  It was there right under my nose, as usual.  I searched the Mandrake cd's and found the Xscreensaver RPM.  
Thanks again.
Neil

screensaver

[Jorge R . Csapo]

Hi all,

I'm having an annoying problem and I wonder if someone can help me. I have a
box (slack 8.0) on which I need to disable screen saving. I have disabled
everything related to APM and power conserving in the bios. I don't have
screensaver running on X. Everything related to it in the kernel is disable.
But still, after a few minutes the screen goes blank.

Here is my XF86Config:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Layout0"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "toque0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Files"
        ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT/"

        Load  "record"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "freetype"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

        Option "MinimumYPosition" "100"
        Option "MaximumYPosition" "16384"
        Option "Type" "finger"

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc102"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        HorizSync    31.5 - 37.9
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 90.0
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Screen"

                Modes    "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

and my xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# start some nice programs

twm -f /etc/twm.cfg &
xv -quit -root /etc/logosembarra.pcx &
xsetroot -cursor /etc/cursor.juke /etc/mask.juke &
/postgres_home/My_Vending_App ; /bin/setleds -L -caps

It's driving me NUTS!

any ideas?

TIA

Hi,
	Look for the below message in 'rc.M'. Just comment it out.

# Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time.
/bin/setterm -blank 15

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option	"BlankTime"	"10"
    Option	"StandbyTime"	"20"
    Option	"SuspendTime"	"30"
    Option	"OffTime"	"60"
EndSection

Although the XF86Config(5) man page doesn't actually say so, I believe
that setting them to "0" will disable blanking altogether.

BTW, the last three are only relevant if the monitor section has the
"DPMS" option.

Yes, we know. No, we don't need telling not to open it. 

Anyone whose autoresponder tries to mail _anything_ but the SMTP
reverse-path is getting kicked.

I just reverted to the previous list policy of trapping anything
matching "Content-Type: multipart/"; I'd relaxed it to trap only
multipart/alternative a few weeks ago.

David, 
my spam trapper for my ISP warned me about it, and caught it. Twice in
fact. That because the virus in question is working its way through
its mutations. Please continue your policies. If I need to send
anything attached to the list, I'll warn you, about two days before
doing so.

screensaver

[sauro]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 448 bytes --]

Greetings.

I am using a 2.4 Linux workstation in text mode (no graphic interface).
After some time, Linux activates the "screensaver" and the monitor goes 
blank on "stand by" mode until activity is detected from the mouse or 
keyboard.

Is it possible to disable this screensaver, so that the monitor keeps on 
all the time?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, but you need to send the screen some escape sequences, the
last time I checked. Subroutines included do the following:

noblank() Stops screen blanker (what you want).
scr()     Resets ANSI mode to return from shifted to normal.
           Sometimes the screen gets shifted after accidentally
           reading binary files.
cls()     Clear the screen.
