Screensaver still active

[AnalogueMan]

My screensaver is still active despite I unchecked “Activate screensaver when computer is idle”.
In “Power Management”, I also set both “Actions” and “Display” on “never”.
Dit I forget something extra to do?
My O.S. is Mint 17.1 Mate.

Seems your not alone as am I with this problem. I unchecked activate screensaver and lock screen along with Actions” and Display” on “never”.

Finally I just slid the bar in regard the computer as idle to 2 hours.

Will live with that until I find someone who has an answer to this problem. Bummer I know.

ibbill, that is exactly what I did also: putting the slider to two hours.

Could not do anything with the other response because I cannot find that xorg.conf file. I think this has
something to do with the difference between MATE a KDE?

Try this in a terminal:
xset s off
xset -dpms

*If* it works, add it to you login somewhere.

O.K. Flemur, I will do that and let you know about the results.
Thanks.
