I connected small 7" lcd on rpi composite port, but its blanking after 10min of innactivity, how do disable blanking?
I've tried to put line
setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
in
/etc/rc.local
but that didn't worked...
Hi maxi75,
I have never plugged in a monitor to my Pi (Composite or HDMI) so I have no idea :p .
I do know however it wont work from /etc/rc.local, I would imagine you should be modifying /etc/issue to modify the console 'login' message, if you try something like;-
sudo echo -ne "\033[9;0]" >> /etc/issue
It should turn off screen blanking for all consoles and vttys. If you want to try that I will also give it a go when I get back to my Pi.
On other things, I am hard at work and nearly have the privilege separation from root all figured out. As soon as I get that done it will be time for a new release.
Thanks for your help again!
P.S, Love the photo, I might steal that!
