You have provided lots of details which don't help us help you. But,
alas, you left out the interesting tidbits :-)
Soooo, what do I remove to absolutely, permanently disable the screen
blanker? And I mean no chance it can ever do that to me again.
There are many incarnations of screen blankers, so there are different
incantations. Possibly, the one you are after is DPMS, where the monitor
is signalled (via the VESA DPMS mechanism) to shut off.
Assuming, again, you are under X11, there is "xset s off", which would
disable the screensaver *and* the DPMS blanking. See the xset man page
for all the gory details. This [1] is a good overview for all the
other things you might want to try.
Playing like one of the 10,000 monkeys assigned to redo W.Shakespear, I
seem to have found that "xset s expose", which according to xset q turns
dpms back on, so follow that with a "xset -dpms" seems to have
accomplished it for this boot. 3 hours later I see its it still active
from the back door, precisely what I want. noblank.
Now, since Xsessions has been move to /etc, I assume it works for all
uses. but there is only one, the "cnc" operator using my pw.
So, what do I edit into /etc/Xsessions (or Xsession.options) to
duplicate this for subsequent boots?
tnx all
Most desktop environments have a set of buttons and dials to achieve
the same. That said, I don't "do" DEs, so I might be lying here.
For Wayland, you'd have to ask someone smarter than me.
Hope this gives you some leads to follow.
Cheers
