Stupid me, the problem was actually addressed in the xscreensaver FAQ: I have no idea whether it should be considered a bug of either program, but I'd report it if necessary. Now xscreensaver does start when it must, changes animation (even fancy stupid ones) every minute, and wakes up the screen only when some input happens. So I've stopped launching it in the i3 config file, and I'll try to find another way to manage my power (I'm an ex-Xfce-ist that only recently converted to i3). I thought I'd tried killing it to run xscreensaver, but either I didn't, or I did but it still had engaged something™ that conflicted with xscreensaver. Well, we can skip all that because I've found the culprit: xfce4-power-manager.
#Fedora 23 disable xscreensaver driver#
Sounds as if something™ is causing input, but ignored by dpms and caught by xscreensaver.Īlso, do you use the libinput or evdev driver and does it matter? GL: cubestack -root -delay 1667 -speed 4 \ I use these commands in a script set to run at login to stop the screen blanking on my MythTV. xset s off (turns off the screen saver) xset s noblank (turns off blanking) You can also use it to disable the power management using dpms to power the monitor down. GL: antspotlight -root -delay 0 -fps \n\ You can use the xset command to disable screen blanking and locking. GL: gltext -root -text '%A%n%d %b %Y%n%r' \n\ TextProgram: /home/zappathustra/bin/mpd.rb text ImageDirectory: /home/zappathustra/Images # Written by xscreensaver-demo 5.37 for zappathustra on Sun Sep 17 10:07:16 2017.
