[Buildroot] X11: How do I prevent the target screen from going black after 10 minutes?

[Buildroot] X11: How do I prevent the target screen from going black after 10 minutes?

[Lennart Ramberg]

Hello,

Maybe not a proper Builroot question, but:
X11: How do I prevent the target screen from going black after 10 minutes?
There is no xorg.conf (to edit the ServerFlags section).
I was thinking maybe an overlay with an edited xorg.conf?

Thanks in advance
Lennart

Have you tried adding "consoleblank=0" to the kernel command line? (I
_think_ that should do it.)

[Lennart Ramberg]

Thanks for the quick reply.
However, I had no success. Screen still blanks after 10 min (unless
keyb/mouse activity).
I assume this is what you meant:

# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set default="0"
set timeout="3"

menuentry "Buildroot" {
        linux /boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda1 consoleblank=0
}

Lennart

Supposing that you are not running a screen saver daemon live "xscreensaver", I guess the screen goes blank (black?) due to the X server itself, not the Linux kernel. Try using

    $ xset q

to display the screen saver timeout and

    $ xset s off

to disable the screen saver.

[Buildroot] X11: How do I prevent the target screen from going black after 10 minutes?

[Lennart Ramberg]

Thanks, however:

# xset q
-sh: xset: not found

And yes, it goes black.

Sorry, I forgot to say that you need to select the xset package, under

    -> Target packages
        -> Graphic libraries and applications (graphic/text)
            -> X.org X Window System
                -> X11R7 Applications

[Buildroot] X11: How do I prevent the target screen from going black after 10 minutes?

[Lennart Ramberg]

This worked:
# DISPLAY=:0 xset s off -dpms   (Skipped consoleblank=0 in grub.cfg)
But it won't persist a restart.

I guess a script could run it after boot, alternativerly I could make an
xorg.conf.
How should Buildroot arrange such a script to be run automatically after
boot?
I assume avoiding xorg.conf would be more modern/better. Or?

Lennart

[Buildroot] X11: How do I prevent the target screen from going black after 10 minutes?

[Lennart Ramberg]

Me again,
Sorry for jumping at the gun;
A script could of course be run where I start my other programs.

But still, any opinions about xset vs. xorg.conf?
