[MPlayer-users] how to really disable screenblanking.

[Green, Shaun]

Alex,

Does this problem you're talking about relate to my problem?

I hooked up an external monitor to my laptop's Geforce 440 Go card. In Red
Hat 7.3 after about 5 minutes, suddenly the screen blanks out. The only way
to keep getting it back is to use the CRT/LCD keyboard function. It's VERY
aggravating, so I can only use my laptop screen for now under Linux. Of
course under Windoze it works fine ...

I'm trying to disable screenblanking on my freevo box
(freevo.sourceforge.net).

So far I have tried combinations of theese:

setterm -blank 0

xset -dpms
xset s reset   /*Reset options*/
xset s expose   /*Turn's off all screen savers*/
xset s noblank   /*Turn's off screen blanking*/
xset s off    /*Turn's off other options*/
xset dpms 0 0 0
xset dpms 60000 60000 60000

I'm running X with framebuffers on a Matrox G400 card.
The display comes back if I run a fbset on the framebuffer device.

Any ideas?
