    screensaver in voyage linux

    Hi,

    I'm using Voyage Linux (debian based), no gnome no kde, and the screen turns black after a few minutes. I'm not sure if it's a screensaver or power management.

    I have no clue on how to configure that. I wish to disable it. Any idea?

    Thanks.

    Olivier

    Thumbs up

    That did it.

    In my case the following command did it:

    Code:
    setterm -blank 0
    I added that line to my /root/.profile line to have it work on boot.

    Thanks reed9
