    Everything was working perfectly then tried to follow the instructions to disable the screensaver now I have a blank screen with only the cursor showing. Seriously panicking!
    This is what I entered.

    edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart:

    sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
    Add the following lines:

    @xset s noblank
    @xset s off
    @xset -dpms
    Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:

    sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
    Add the following line below [SeatDefaults]

    xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

    How do I fix this? Any would help would mean a lot!
