I'm running a picture slideshow on a laptop (TFT screen) and I dont want a screen saver/blanker or whatever it's called. No, I don't want it at all.

So I edited my /etc/rc.conf:

saver="NO"
blanktime="NO"

But still will the screen go black after a few minutes. I have turned off all Power Management features in the BIOS aswell.

The computer is a Dell Latitude Cpx50
