If this is not a sticky, it needs to be for all of the car PC`s out there running Puppy like me. It took a long time to find it. Make a script with xset s off -dpms and inset into the start up folder if running puppy 4 and up.

This can be done in one, combined xset command.
For Puppy series 4, the command can be put in a separate script placed in the startup folder (which is new to Puppy 4).
For Puppy series 3, the command can be put in /root/.xinitrc (or in /etc/rc.d/rc.local).

NB: There are still other ways, better integrated with xset gui's, and involving the /root/.xset.sh script. I'm working on a detailed, fully documented howto. |

1- Do wath Lobster said
(be sure that (in Pupx) you click the 'Exit apply and save settings' button)
| Lobster wrote: | From the menu Puppy 4
Menu / Desktop / pupx / Screensaver
untick 'enable screensaver'

2- Then, in rox, go to root directory.
3- Right clik on 'eye' button
(now you can see shared files witch names have a dot before the file name)
4- Right clik over '.xset.sh' file.
5- In the contextual menu go to " File '.xset.sh' / Permissions /"
6- Be sure that the command 'a+x (Make executable/searchable) is selected.
7- Clik the 'yes' button.
Please come here and reply us your results.
Thank you. |
This worked fine on puppy 511. Thanks

Thanks.
You have to left click to see the hidden files ( instead of witch  it should be which).
In my live Lucid Puppy 511 .xset.sh is created after, in Menu -> Desktop -> Desktop settings -> pupX..., I click on Apply. But that hidden file is created with execution/search permissions for all the users, as seen on the file properties, so 2 to 7 steps wouldn't be necessary. Perhaps if you install Puppy on your HDD this file is created without those permissions?
I think that .xset.sh is the configuration file for the xset command: if you run xset with some parameters (or use pupX -the graphical way-) that config file changes. So, if Puppy is installed (not live) the next time you boot it it should remember the changes (for example if you want a screensaver or not).
Are the suggestions of this thread valid for both full and frugal instalations of Puppy to a HDD?
Regards
