XFCE: screensaver bug fix

XFCE screensaver bug

XFCE has a weird bug... The screensaver is always on, no matter which settings you set, and it will result in a black screen after 10mn of inactivity....

You have to disable xset

Disable Xset

Check your current settings:

xset q

Disable xset screensaver + blinking:

bash -c "xset s noblank; xset s off"

Then, you can check the results by running:

xset q

You should have the following lines (or alike):

Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  no    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  0    cycle:  600

Make it disable forever

To resolve this situation once and for all you must do:

• Start menu -> Settings -> Session and startup -> Application Autostart

• Add a new item:

bash -c "xset s noblank; xset s off"
