If the blanking is caused by a screensaver application under the control of your desktop environment, that should work (I guess). But if it's caused by either DPMS being invoked, or X blanking the monitor, then you'll need to explicitly change the behaviour by editing an xorg.conf file if you really want to eliminate the blanking. I happened to write up exactly how I did this earlier today: http://drevans.blog.enginehousebooks.com/2015/07/preventing-dpms-operation-in-x-in.html Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
