Hi,
I like my new installation of Ubuntu 8.10 on my Panasonic CF-18 Toughbook but the one thing that is REALLY annoying me is the screen blanking out!
This should NEVER hapen on a mission-critical host! Personally, I don't know why it would ever be enabled by default?? Would you want your air traffic controller's monitor going to sleep? How about your 911 operator's screen?
I have editied /etc/X11/xorg.conf..
I have tried setting "xset s off" and "xset -dpms" in rc.local
From boot "noapic" "nolapic" "acpi=off" "noapm"
Edited the hald
The problem is that none of the xorg settings are respected by kde apparently. Why, I do not know. If I am root of a system that means I am root, not KDE, selinux or any desktop manager.
So does anyone know how to totally ELIMINATE dpms and ANY and ALL power save for good? If I have to recompile the whole damn kernel I guess that's what I have to do but is there a simpler way?
Thanks for any tips as my googling was proving fruitless!
