 |
|
Hi,
I am running kernel 2.6.14 r5. I am interested in finding out how I can make my computer work without power save. My computer goes into save mode and turns the screen blank. I do not know, where such configuration is, and I would like to find it out. Please advise. I have APM enabled in my kernel.

disable it  or play with apm settings
there should be some file like
/etc/conf.d/apmd
but i don't know exactly...
and check if you have in your xorg.conf (i assume that screen blanks under X)
| Code: |
Option "BlankTime" XX
Option "StandbyTime" XX
Option "SuspendTime" XX
Option "OffTime" XX

| Your WM or DE may also have settings which affect that as well, and not just the xorg.conf file. |

Thanks,
In my case the command line is going blank. I am trying to setup a cross compiling machine for arm920T, and I need that screen at all times. I am emerging stuff right now, but I will look into the /etc/conf.d/ later.
Also,
I was born not too far away from your location. I grew up in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
thanks again,
Roman |
