    Hi,

    I’ve looked at multiple discussions about this problem, and none of them seem to work. When I have MM open, after around 15 minutes, my monitor will fall asleep, and when I move the mouse it comes back on.

    Is there any way I can tweak the Raspberry Pi so my monitor doesn’t fall asleep?

      I have tried going into the light dm file and adding xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms, but it did not work.

        Opinion:

        Install xscreensaver and disable the screensaver altogether

        Create a working config
        How to add modules
