      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!
