[MPlayer-users] how to really disable screenblanking.

[Alex Polite]

I'm trying to disable screenblanking on my freevo box
(freevo.sourceforge.net).

So far I have tried combinations of theese:

setterm -blank 0

xset -dpms
xset s reset   /*Reset options*/
xset s expose   /*Turn's off all screen savers*/
xset s noblank   /*Turn's off screen blanking*/
xset s off    /*Turn's off other options*/
xset dpms 0 0 0
xset dpms 60000 60000 60000

I'm running X with framebuffers on a Matrox G400 card.
The display comes back if I run a fbset on the framebuffer device.

Any ideas?
