Screen blanking on Debian11 Rock Pi5?

#1

I have the Debian 11 install running from SD, all good so far once I worked out a few things, but I do need to disable the screen blanking and cant find any controls in the settings, and command line options I found via google don’t seem to work.

How do I stop the screen blanking?

#2

i just got my rock 5b, flashed debian 11 on sd card
, it keeps rebooting, only shows a cursor on the corner, and it keeps boot looping, am i doing something wrong ? did you manage to get ssh etc?

i think your problem is power
and what psu do you use

#4

umm ok, but back to the screen blanking :smiley: any ideas?

#5

no one has a solution to the auto screen blanking?
I understand why its there but for me its a tad annoying to wake it up when I am ready to send content to it.

To disable screen blanking you need:

  • disable all screen savers

  • disable dpms

    sudo xset -dpms s off

This will do the trick, no more blanking screen.
You need to do it in every user login, type in the command, or create a batch file to run at start-up
