Hello,
well, two days ago I watched a movie without interruption from the
screen saver,
it WAS great!!! Yesterday it was back to square one, every ten minutes the
screen would go to sleep??? My settings:
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
In the Power Manager > Screen:
Both settings are set to «Never».
In the Screen Saver settings:
Mode: Blank Screen Only.
Blank After: 467 minutes
Cycle After: 236 minutes
Lock Screen After: 325 minutes
No matter what, the screen saver kicks in after 10-15 minutes???
Any insights???
Thanks,
Gérald
