I can't for the life of me get screen blanking to turn off in Fedora 8.
I'd like to turn it off globally for the whole system but I can't even
seem to get it to turn off for my session.
Anyone know how to get this done?
thx-

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf add
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"
Option "dpms" "false"
EndSection
Restart X11.
Did turn off that annoying follow-up, no point in posting in the relevant
newsgroups if only one is allowed to see the replies, you will be acting like
a multi-poster.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I was under the impression that the opposite was true???

not really. I've the same problem with SuSe 10.3.
In a console-session (Icon on desktop) i activate 'xset -dpms' and every
first startup i activate it.
I start my computer every day once, therefor it is one call a day.
You know you can make that happen automatically if you configure your xorg
correctly, just tell xorg to disable dpms in ServerFlags section.

Hey, this worked... except that I had to remove the dpms line completely.
Whenever there is a dpms line in my xorg.conf it prevents the screensaver
from starting at all.
