Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out how to change the amount of time it takes for the screen to blackout(powersave). With three Antix boxes, two with XFCE and one with Fluxbox(the XFCE boxes have Fluxbox for a backup) I can't seem to find where to extend the amount of time before it blacks out. I thought it would be at least in the Xfce config tools but I don't see it. Any suggestions?

The command xset has an option to extend the time before the screen blanks.

Code: Select all

xset s 400
This sets the screen to blank after 400 seconds.
