xset -dpms does NOT prevent the blackout problem ... not if you execute it before opening Firefox, not if you execute it after opening Firefox. The -dpms switch attempts to control the " Energy Star " features ... of the monitor??? I don't know how that relates to Linux Power Management ....

I restarted the system and ran the OP video ... it had a screen blackout at 10 minutes. I stopped that video and started the train video that ran for 1-1/2 hours in the previous comments and it had a screen blackout at 10 minutes. I restarted the system and ran the train video first and it had a bla...

Blessings Obsolet ! I have been running LiveMedia systems exclusively for about 10 years now. A LiveMedia system is a " squashfs " system. It is in compressed form on the drive, and only decompresses and loads into a memory ramdisk only what is currently needed, and whatever you install a...
