Stopping X turning the display black after 10 minutes

[greyfledge]

Hi
I'm running OpenBSD -stable with default Fvwm.
I'd like to stop X turning the display black after the default ten minute timeout.
Could someone point me the elegant way to do that.

Thanks for reading.

xset s off -dpms

Ah, cool. This is what I needed to keep the Pinebook Pro from going bright white after 5 minutes and cooking the display.

Gotta figure out how to still turn the backlight off, though.

Have you tried xbacklight(1) ? Worth a try but can't remember if I ever got it to work (on non-OpenBSD systems).

That only works for Intel graphics chips. Perhaps wsconsctl(8) might have a setting that disables the backlight though.

Thanks! I didn't know that.

Thank you. Exactly what I needed.
As I am using xenodm, I created a ~/.xsession file and entered the code xset s off -dpms inside. I also had to enter exec fvwm to allow the execution of the window manager.
