How do I stop screen going blank while using Fluxbox
Hi All.I recently went back to using fluxbox after a long time with xfce.After about 30 minutes of getting the keyboard set to UK and editing the menu,I sat back to watch a movie.After about 10-15 minutes I realized why I had stopped using fluxbox in the first place.While watching my movie I wasn't using mouse or keyboard and the screen goes blank.A movement of the mouse brings it back again.Very annoying.Anyone know how to prevent this screen blanking.
