Problem: Screensaver to prevent unwanted input
#6
Here are the steps I have taken:

sudo apt install xscreensaver
export DISPLAY=:0
DISPLAY=:0 xscreensaver-demo

This opens the configuration utility on the local hdmi screen where you can configure the screensaver.


If you want to shut down the display you need to enable power management under advanced.

Apparently there would be a config file but I did not play with that.


I added the following lines to the xinit in order to start the deamon:
# Start screensaver

xscreensaver -no-splash &

In order to do this in a clean way you should also specify -display but i did not yet research the syntax in order to do so.



Greetings Ale
