[SOLVED] Cannot prevent the screen off

Hello.

I m using xfce 4 and i want to disable the screen off after a while. So i searched for a while and i disabled it from the xfce power manager -> On AC -> Monitor. Νonetheless my monitor is going to sleep after some minutes. Is there any other way to disable this function ?

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot prevent the screen off

hi you can disable the "Energy Star" feature of your screen with:

xset -dpms

usually the screensaver is controlled by desktop environment (xfce for you) but can force adding "s" option:

xset s off -dpms
