How to adjust automatic suspend/sleep option

I have xscreensaver installed in which I have unchecked "power management enabled" option (in 'Advanced' tab). However, still the desktop suspends after 30 minutes. How and from where can I alter this setting? Thanks for your help.

Salix Menu ==> Settings ==> Screensaver

Screensaver opens the same xscreensaver window which is not working as I have described above. Have you tried to disable 'power management' in screensaver 'Advanced' tab options? Does it prevent the system from going to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity?

Maybe it's DPMS you're talking about and not the screensaver?

Try:

Code: Select all

xset -dpms; xset s off

I will try it and let you know the result. Do I need to give this command as root? (The command gave no error from regular user account).

No, it should run as your user.
