https://wiki.debian.org/Xinitrc Sorry, Brian. I've been stuck on this for ages. Running xset -dpms is so easy that I hvaen't put much energy into it. But I can find nothing for Debian, only for Ubuntu, and the above is what I got when I searched for ".xinitrc deprecated in debian" I can find nothing other than writing an xorg.conf, and therein lies a minefield.
