stupid question about power management

[tcarradine]

at least i hope its stupid... stupid questions have stupid answers...

here it is:

how do i disable/edit the power management features in linux (fedora core 2)?
mostly i just hate it that when i'm logged in as root the screen blacks out after about 5 minutes of inactivity... i want it to just stay on all the time...

okay, i'm done...

it's in your X config file:

/etc/X11/XF86Config

or

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

or

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

you can also set this all with the XScreensaver gui interface which you can load with the following command:

xscreensaver-demo

(weird but yes that ^^^ is the correct command)

IF you mean the CLI interface then you use the setterm command

(setterm -blank 0) << if you are too lazy to read the man page / --help
