monitor loosing signal

[larry57]

hi all,
running the latest tinyme and i love it.
however i have a situation i would like to change. every 10 minutes tinyme stops the signal to my monitor and the screeen goes black with a warning that it has lost the signal.
i would like to stop that and set it to stay on at least 2 hours.
how do i do that?

please, can anyone help me.
as i said:
tinyme keeps putting my monitor into hibernate every ten minutes when idle. is there a solution to stop this or at least bump up the time?
if not i will move on to another distro.

Try running this in a terminal:

Code:

xset -dpms

hi KDulcimer,
thanks for trying to help me.
ok i pressed F12 and got the term up. after entering the command and hitting enter i get this:
command not found
something isnt right....maybe install? this has been installed for some time with no problems.

hi KDulcimer,
i stayed up late last night to d/l, burn, and install a fresh copy of tinyme. tapped F12 key, typed in the command and hit enter. there was a split second screen flash and i figured that took care of it but no after i rebooted the monitor still loses the signal and hibernates after 10 minutes.
am i the only one with this problem? i did a search here and google for this before i posted my question and didnt find anything that was close to what i have going on and yet i have another machine (dell) with tinyme installed and its doing the same thing.
so the fresh d/l and install didnt solve the problem;-(.

I doubt you're the only one. It's probably just a matter of what search terms you are using. What have you tried searching for?

hi KDulcimer,
here i tried monitor hibernating. at google i tried tinyme monitor hibernating, then monitor hibernating....course that last one yeilded 99% windows problems.

Try Googling 'linux monitor sleep'.
