How do i disable powersaving functions ? (desktop)
no GUI for it and there are several files that point to power-management ..
problem: power goes halt/hibernate (screen off, sound off etc) because no mouse input .. it just goes off while listening to music or playing game with joystick .. i want it to always stay on

which desktop module are you using?
maybe:
Code: Select all
xset q (gives settings status)
xset s off (turns off screensaver/blanking) or
xset s 00 (set the timeout to never)
xset -dpms (disables powersaving)
if this works for you they could go in auto start(how: depending on which DE)
unless something else is controlling this..

First checked with
and settings are 600sec for dpms and Blankscreen .. seems right ..
put
in rc.local
reboot .. still going into powersafe
check with
settings are default 600 again .. looking in rc.local ..settigns ARE THERE
it's doesn't seem to be using the rc.local ?

rc.local might be too early in the boot process.. ie. before X has started..
so autostart at the DE level might be better..
