Default How do I turn OFF the X screensaver??
--I'm using PCBSD as a Squid server for the moment, and need to have the screen on at all times for monitoring (top, iostat, bandwidth, disk space)

--I've tried ' xset s off ', turned off the blasted thing in KDE...

Now I'm using FLUXBOX and it's STILL turning off after ~20 min or so...

Please help, thanks in advance. :roll:

Default Re: How do I turn OFF the X screensaver??
Well, after waiting around a week, I found it myself in ' man xset ':

' xset q ' # Display current settings

# Turn X screensaver off:
' xset s off '
' xset -dpms '


--BTW - If using PC-BSD in a Server/Monitoring role, I highly recommend Fluxbox windowmanager instead of KDE. With KDE I never got beyond ~90% Idle in ' top ' -- with Fluxbox I see 96%-100% Idle.
