Starting X with a startx command. Would I need to put this in one of the
xstartup scripts then? Some where in /etc/X11?

 <pre wrap="">Nah, the Xserver has it's own screen saver. The relavent
parameters are:

-s minutes
sets the screen saver timeout in minutes.  I suspect that '-s 0' is no
screen saver

-p minutes
sets the screen saver cycle time in minutes.  Not sure what this one means
but I suspect that if you have a logo saver, it changes the logo based on
this parameter.

You have to start X with the parameter.  How to do this will depend on how
you're
provoking X to begin with.

Cheers!

Also check for XScreensaver.  It can run in the background.

have redhat 7.3
on it, after about 10 minutes the screen will black out. I would like to
keep the screen always on (got IRman and remote controll to controll
it). I have no desktop running, just X and xmms. APMD is not running,
got all power management turned off in the bios, any ideas whats
blanking out the screen?
