Hello guys, I am running an application in fullscreen. The application is signageplayer from digitalsignage. Its an application that shows ads, news and such.

But the problem is that my screen keeps blanking every 5-10 minutes. I have turned off the settings for this in Brightness and Lock, but to no avail. I've also tried to run the following command

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false

but still no go. Is there a way to prevent the screen going blank in 12.10?

In windows, you can actually make a batch file, then convert it to an executable file, and then change the extension from .exe to .scr and have the batch file run as the screensaver. You can set the batch file to do whatever you like, such as for example not do anything at all.

Is this possible in Ubuntu/Linux)? Because then I could run a batch file as the screen saver, and instead of it going blank, it would do nothing at all, which would solve the problem.
