- | ===== Why doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | **Display Power Management Signaling** (DPMS) has been disabled by another application. This can be confirmed and resolved using the '' | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | $ xset -q | ||
- | DPMS (Energy Star): | ||
- | Standby: 1200 Suspend: 0 Off: 3600 | ||
- | DPMS is Disabled | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | If DPMS is disabled, it can be turned back on with '' | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | $ xset +dpms | ||
- | $ xset -q | ||
- | DPMS (Energy Star): | ||
- | Standby: 1200 Suspend: 0 Off: 3600 | ||

- | |||
- | The screensaver daemon is not currently running. You can check this by looking at the running processes, or just run '' | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | $ xfce4-screensaver | ||
- | ** (xfce4-screensaver: | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | '' | ||
- | |||
- | Another application has disabled the X11 screensaver. This can be determined by running '' | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | $ xdg-screensaver status | ||
- | disabled | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | If this command outputs " | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | $ xset s blank # Sets the X11 screensaver mode to " | ||
- | $ xset s 300 # Sets the X11 screensaver timeout to 5 minutes | ||
- | $ xdg-screensaver status | ||
- | enabled | ||
- | </ | ||

- | |||
- | ===== Where are all the screensavers? | ||
- | |||
- | Xfce Screensaver uses Xscreensaver-compatible screensavers. These can usually be installed separately from the main Xscreensaver package. | ||
- | |||
- | If you've already installed the screensavers and they still are not available, you may need to create desktop entries for them so they can be found by Xfce Screensaver. In the future, this process will be automated by Xfce Screensaver. Meanwhile, it is not hard to make your own. | ||
