what equipment are you running X windows on? You can try the "xset s off"
or "xset s noblank" commands.

Hi guys.

Here's my problem:

I am running AIX 4.3.3. I have an application that uses X-Windows to show

the status of our network connections for our applications. After runnings
10 minutes

the screen blanks out and to get the screen back up you have to tap the
keyboard or

move the mouse. We need the inactivity timeout set to either "not to
timeout" or for a

whole lot longer time frame than it currently is. I have looked at the
users

.xinitrc and did not see anything that looked like it might help. Any ideas
as to where

the settings to control turning the screen off-timeout is?

Thanks,

Keith Cooper
