    Default Disable screensaver

    Some screensaver keep blanking out my screen. How do I disable this? My PC and monitor are both Tormach stock. I'm running the latest Path v2.3.6.

    I already had screen saver preferences and power management setup that way. Either it doesn't work or something else blanking the screen. I went into the menu on the monitor itself and didn't see any screensaver settings.

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. My screensaver comes on pretty quickly. I haven't timed it, but it's around 15 minutes.

    Screen saver daemon was already unchecked. I did uncheck the power management daemon and re-booted, but that didn't change anything. When I boot my controller, I have it setup to go to the linux desktop, to open PP I have to click on the PP startup script. Even if I'm just on the linux screen, the screensaver still kicks in. So I don't think it's a pathpilot setting.

    xset worked, thanks!
