xset -dpms only works for a while.

Hi Guys,

I want to permanently disable dpms to prevent screen blanking.

I do an:

xset -dpms

Then an:

xset -q

to confirm that dpms is off. Everything is OK for a while until DPMS flips back on!

Can anyone help with keeping it off or removing it completely?

Cheers.

Add these lines to the end of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "blank time" "0"
        Option          "standby time" "0"
        Option          "suspend time" "0"
        Option          "off time" "0"
EndSection
