Thank you guys for your help and sorry for the late reply. I was working on a kiosk project and I choose a custom window manager called twm-kiosk. Since this is going to be in a public area I don't want the screen to go black. Twm-kiosk runs a shell script when it starts so I collected different commands related to monitor power management and dumped them in the script. Sorry, I didn't have time to experiment and see which command exactly does the trick. So I ended up with this: --- /usr/bin/setterm -blank 0 > /dev/tty7 /usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms /usr/X11R6/bin/xset s off --- I don't think I need all of them and I'll definitely come back and experiment more but the way it is now works for me.
