How to disable screen saver on old 300-series

[Shane Travis]

Old box, odd question. I have a customer running a 300-series with HPUX 8.05 on it that wants to disable the screensaver (screen-blanking) on it. Can't find anything in any of the manuals. (Unsurprisingly, can't find anything here on the site either. Nobody loves folks who have to maintain old hardware.) Box is not running CDE.

Anyone got any long-buried memories they care to dig up for me?

hello Tim,

try :
xset s off
in a shell.

You should have a line with xset with screensaver parameters in a Xwindows startup script, like $HOME/.x11start. You can remove the line with it.
