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).Code: Select all
xset s off -dpms
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.
