Porteus 5 RC
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

Disable powersaving
which desktop module are you using?
maybe:
if this works for you they could go in auto start(how: depending on which DE)
unless something else is controlling this..
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)
unless something else is controlling this..

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