 |
|
Dear gentooers,
I added this line in my .xinitrc in order to not to have my screen shutting down:
But after switching graphic drivers from nouveau to nvidia-drivers, this does not work anymore either if this line is in my .xinitrc or if I just launch it in a terminal.
Instead, this seems to do the trick, typing in a terminal:
But unfortunately it won't work from .xinitrc .... :/
I'm using LXDE as desktop environment btw.
Do you guys have a clue how I could work it out, or better, of which command I could use to have the screen shutting down after, let's say: 30mn ?
Thank you for your attention.

Been using LXDE for years:
Been tweaking these settings many times for such a cancellation.
Currently "xset dpms force off" in lxsession-default-apps.
Not 100% that is enough.
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

| To force, I will use the Xorg configuration instead. |

lxde has a specific internal that sets display off after 10 mn IIRC.
So yeah, a general X configuration could fix.
A more fine grained solution could be desirable.

Worked with:

@xset s off |
in lxsession-default-apps
Not working in .xinitrc
Thanks again Captain! |
