Maybe what works for me would work for you to enable watching a video. I set all three power save options in desktop settings to 120 minutes.
I have tried that, up to 4000 4025 4050 minutes. Nominally 5 minutes later it powers down, and an xset -q shows: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 450 Suspend: 600 Off: 900 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On And theres not a thing I can do about it.
Something else to try depends on a config file in which to put it, either in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, included in Section "Monitor":
Option "DPMS" "off"Longshot, but try creating a new user? That'd at least isolate if it's a config file or a system issue?
Best, Michael
There's a tiny blue rectangle (almost a square) in the system tray.
Not there.
Right-click, look for "configure displays", then go to the tab labelled "power management": unclick the box that says "enable DPMS power save modes"; or you can configure power saving to something that suits you better.
(For a desktop I find that power saving is useless or even counterproductive, so I just switch off the monitor instead when not in use. On a laptop, or in a setting where one wants the screen to lock when unattended, this is a different matter, but I imagine it's just Gene hanging out at home.)
Keyrect. With the missus in the shop, end stage COPD, I don't have a cat to walk on keys. Just me.
Also, VLC allows turning off power saving while actively watching a video; I don't know, but I imagine other media players do something similar.
