power management

[hirohitosan]

Hi there. I installed X on my FreeBSD box and I noticed that my monitor goes to sleep after a while and then turn off.

How can I disable the power management or something like this?

I want my monitor to stay on.

Thanks

In the monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf add:

Option "DPMS" "off"

I have nothing in /etc/X11/
but I have in /root/xorg.conf.new

I add there Option "DPMS" "off"

I restarted X, but after 10 min the monitor went to sleep ...

I tried also:

# xset -dpms
xset: unable to open display ""

 

[vermaden]

# xset -dpms

From root account?

Never use x11 as root.

finally I add in ~/.xinirc before starting wm

xset -dpms

and it works
