I bet you can add the required "xset" commands into "/etc/rc.local" file but as Ralf has suggested in another post if this can be done directly from Xorg configuration, I find it a cleaner solution :-) If you want to try the Xorg option tehre's more info here: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html Note 1: Remember that starting from Squeeze the xorg configuration files have been splitted in many "chunks" so you'll have to find where the corresponding file for the "Display" stanza is located and edit accordingly. Note 2: You'll have to power-cycle the system or restart the xserver daemon to test the changes. Note 3: Always do a backup copy _before_ editing any file so you can easily revert any change :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
