    Creating a startup program

    Will a program (created using Real Studio) that's placed in the startup queue run?
    I tried just this, and while there was no error at startup it appears the program had no effect. It is a shell execution to set my screen-blanking time. The program does work once I am up and running though. I am using Linux Mint 8 on a T30 Thinkpad.

    Screen blanking means turning off power to the monitor (display).

    Hi,
    this could help you.

    Timeouts can also be specified in the X configuration file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In the "Monitor" section, you need a line like:

    Option "DPMS"

    Then, in the "ServerLayout" section (for Xorg 7.2 and later, make a separate ServerFlags section instead), include lines like this:

    Option "BlankTime" "4"
    Option "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option "SuspendTime" "0"
    Option "OffTime" "5"

    Caution: note the numbers are all small. xorg.conf needs times specified in minutes, not seconds as with xset.

    Regards

    I do not have a file named xorg.conf in my /etc/x11/ directory. I do have one called xorg.conf.failsafe though... here are the contents:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "vesa"
    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    EndSection

    Hi,
    you could reconfigure it or you can also include your script in /etc/gdm/Init/Default file to avoid to do this.

    You have to include your script path before "exit 0"

    Regards

    Is there any reason you are not using the power management app?

    (System -> Preferences -> Power Management)

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
