- You are going to shoot yourself over this one...
-
- Add the following to your /etc/rc.local:
-
- # set the screen saver
- /usr/bin/screenblank -d 480
-
- Also execute the line, as root, so that it will take affect during your
- current sesssion. It will also be automatically started everytime the
- system is booted.
