Ability to not disable DPMS and screen blanking

[thedumbterminal]

What were you doing?

Running a raspberry pi with a touchscreen, but I want the display to turn off when idle as normal.

What did you expect to happen?

A configuration option to stop DPMS and screen blanking.

I know this distro is for kiosk operation so maybe disabling DPMS would be the default and any such option would stop this behaviour.

What happened instead?

I had to remove the first few lines of the script:

/home/pi/scripts/start_gui

However I can't find the source of this file in: https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/tree/devel/src/modules/fullpageos/filesystem/home/pi/scripts

Version of FullPageOS?

0.12.0

You are welcome to send a Pull Request with a script that disables it. I am not implementing it because I have no time for it.

No problem, do you know where the source of /home/pi/scripts/start_gui resides in github?

Here: https://github.com/guysoft/CustomPiOS/blob/devel/src/modules/gui/filesystem/home/pi/scripts/start_gui

You can place a script at modules/gui/filesystem/home/pi/scripts.
That lets you switch if off, or on/off.

I've put a PR into CustomPiOS as this is not a specific FullScreenOS issue. Let me know if the approach is suitable, thanks for the quick replies.

Merged the changes, also thanks for the rotation option touch.
Should this issue be closed?

[thedumbterminal]

yup, nothing left to do here, thanks.
