Another way may be inserting the following lines into ~/.xinitrc : xset s off xset -dpms before the statement exec ... desktop_manager such as exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session etc. OR ( every time when required ) in a terminal window of the desktop manager , enter the above xset commands , which will be effective only up to exit from the X or shutdown of the computer . Thank you very much .
