Is there a screensaver in porteus stock? If so, how do you access the controls. I would like it to turn black more rapidly.
Thanks.

Same desktop as you have. Settings and power manager is the right place. As I have a laptop, the simplest thing without any changes is finally to close the lid.
The suspend function is akward, it is set at unsuspend action to get back only to the stand alone screen. I use dual display. Dual display script will do the job or some kind of config file in the power management section.
I will play with it and report.
Thanks so much.

Screensaver in porteus 4.0
On i586 Porteus 4.0 and XFCE 4.12 I use the XFCE settings manager.
I set it so that after 20 seconds the display should be set to 80%, and that after one minute the display should be turned off.
☯ The issue is: the "after 20 seconds set display to 80%" is never activating…
☯ but the "switch off after one minute" works.
Currently I have no x86-64 Port 4.0 set up so I can not test it for you if that's a x86-64 vs i586 issue. And the machine mentioned above is i586 only.
As comparison: this is the relevant info on my x86-64 Porteus 5.0:
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ xset -q|grep "Screen Saver:" -A 2
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 600 cycle: 0
Added in 7 hours 5 minutes 35 seconds:
and the info from my i586-Port 4.0
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ xset -q|grep "Screen Saver:" -A 2
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 60 cycle: 0
Cheers!
