stop screen blanking during a video

[steve7233]

I just tried

xset +dpms

. I played 2 Netflix shows that were over 40 minutes each as a test. The results were positive. I am wondering if this will be persistent across reboots or re-logs?

You'll need to add the command somewhere. In your ~/.xinitrc or ~/.profile should work.

It works on reboot. It does not work on re-log.
