    Disable screensaver in karmic?

    I tried a lot of methods but cannot work.

    Like:

    1、
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled --type=bool false
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/ac_sleep_display --type=int 0

    2、
    Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using the following command
    sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf


    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Generic Monitor"
    Option "DPMS"
    EndSection


    and add the following lines


    Section “ServerFlags”
    #other options can go here
    Option “BlankTime” “0″
    Option “StandbyTime” “0″
    Option “SuspendTime” “0″
    Option “OffTime” “0″
    EndSection
    Save and exit the file

    Any other useful method?
    Thank you in advance.

    I opened my gui <system><preferences> menu and made changes to screensaver, powermanagement, and compiz too. They all had some setting or other that was dimming my monitor and making me log back in every time I walked out of the room, fine for an office but not needed at home.

    Something in Lucid causes my screen to dim like it's about to suspend or hibernate, and then it will either brighten when I click something, or go comepletely black, then brighten. Very annoying and weird.

    I turned mine off using the preferences menu
    I could sit around and click "comment" all day. Instead, I'll help bring the Internet to it's knees with this signature, and a fresh download of Lucid.
