Raspberry Pi Screensaver

[simp...@outlaw.dmsc.k12.ar.us]

Good day!

Has anyone been successful at stopping the screenblanker or screensaver or whatever on the RaspberryPi?

I have it displaying the Concerto screens beautifully but the danged thing blanks after a while unless you press a key or something (unhandy).

I have been around the dadgummed WORLD trying to get it to not blank and have tried everything that lots of people have said to do with xset and xinitrc and autostart and all that jazz to no avail. If anyone has been successful, please let us know what it was that you did that actually worked. Please be specific, as I have tried so many different things that people have suggested that I am at my wits end to get it fixed.

Thank you!

Doug

Oops I should've mentioned: this assumes you're running Raspbian.  I haven't tried the other Pi distros yet.

We configure Raspbian Wheezy to automatically launch Midori and Unclutter when the desktop environment boots, and to keep Midori launched in fullscreen should it crash. Replace "concerto.foo" and "screennumber" with the appropriate information for your setup.  Unclutter hides the mouse when Midori is un full screen mode.  Hope this helps! - Chris
