xwindows help- retropie 2.5 how to disable screensaver

[juan9999]

When I’m not playing games, I’d like to use my distro to display a slideshow

I’m using 2.5 beta

I perform the following:

xstart
feh -F -Z -z -Y -D5 -p /home/pi/slideshow

the slideshow seems to work for a while, but after a while, the screen goes black
if I touch a key it reactivates

How can I disable the screen saver given that the gui seems to have been removed?

I found the following solution

sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils

xset s off
xset -dpms
xset s noblank

does anyone know how to autoexecute the script?

Nope. But I do know that if you set the screensaver time to 0 in emulationstation, the screensaver never comes on.
