ask the wizard

DECwindows display is blanking? (screen saver?)

» close window

The Question is:

 
Dear Wizard,
 
I am using an Alpha 200 4/100, and I would like to know if it is possible to
 stop the screen from going into hibernation every 9 minutes.  I have a remote
 terminal screen set up to watch streaming data, and I have to run down the
 hall to wake the machine
up all day.
 
Thanks,
JD

The Answer is :

 
  Assuming this is not simply the DECwindows screen saver operating as
  expected, the OpenVMS Wizard is not familiar with this behaviour on
  any recent OpenVMS configuration.  (Under DECwindows Motif, the screen
  saver setting is accessable via the Screen Background option in the
  Session Manager Options menu pulldown.  Using the menus, you can set
  the number of minutes before the screen saver activates, or you can
  entirely disable the screen saver.)
 
  As OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 -- and likely also the (unspecified) version of
  DECwindows -- is (are) not current, the OpenVMS Wizard would first
  suggest an upgrade to software that is slightly more recent, and the
  application of the associated ECO kits.
