Keep screen from blanking ... How?

Post by markfilipak »

I have screensaver off, and I have power manager off, and still the screen goes black after about 5 minutes.

Mint is running in a virtual machine. The Host does the blanking.

I don't want the Mint Guest to ever blank.

How can I do that?

Thank You.

If it's not just the VirtualBox window that goes blank, but your monitor, this is probably something in Windows 7 power saving settings?

It is just the Xfce desktop that goes blank. Windows 7 & VirtualBox are not involved.
