Greetings all;
I am running an app that gets messed up if the screen blanker
kicks in, so I used xset to shut off dpms. Has no effect. So
how do I shut the screen blanker down for the jobs duration?
Since we seem to be troubleshooting, what is the output of

But if I repeat that query half san hour later, something has
re-enabled dpms. Murphy?
If the system insists on setting dpms, can you change those three
numbers with dpms 1 2 3 only using some *very* large numbers.
(DE stuff is beyond me.)
Cheers,
David.
I just gave that a try, with 3000 6000 and 9000
How did that go?
But ISTR doing that once before, quite a ways up the log and having
it reset to 450 300 600 in a half hour.
I'll track it and see in the night when I'm up to water the daisys.
How were the daisies holding up?
