What you're seeing is not the screen saver (since you've disabled it) but the screen goes blank after a period of inactivity - this is controlled by a power management software, in your example that would be GNOME Power Manager [0]. I don't use Gnome so can't help you with it I'm afraid. A generic way to disable screen going blank would be to use xset. % xset s off [0] http://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/ Cheers, -- rjc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
