Dear gentooers,

I added this line in my .xinitrc in order to not to have my screen shutting down:
Code:

xset -dpms


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:
Code:
$ xset s off


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:
Code:
@xset -dpms
@xset s off
in lxsession-default-apps

Not working in .xinitrc

Thanks again Captain! :)
