Have a few kiosk systems set up running Ubuntu, working great. Using gnome desktop, firefox w/ some plugins, etc.

However, the screen keeps blanking. I've created a new user, and set the screen blanking and powersaving (via screensaver applet and power saving applet) to "never blank" and "don't enable screen saver" and "don't blank on power saving" but after 1.5 hours, the screen still blanks.

Anything I can do about this?

Acceptable to The Boss is to never have it blank, or if it must do something then perhaps a screensaver that is nothing but a series of jpeg images (we'll create a "branded" one for our college and update it via cron if needed)

Thanks

xset s 0 0 should disable the screensaver and xset -dpms should disable power saving. There are a few more xset s options you can try too. I dunno about any fancy Dan applets.
