Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
I'm pretty sure I saw an X upgrade go by some time ago, so I bet that's when this problem started.
Thanks anyway for the suggestions.
This works in lubuntu 13.10 also.
Example
Code:
cd /etc/X11
sudo mkdir xorg.conf.d
cd xorg.conf.d
sudo touch 10-disable-dpms.conf
sudo nano 10-disable-dpms.conf
