I have been playing with Raspbian OS 64-bit Bookworm for a couple of weeks now. It’s running quite nicely on my 8GB Compute Module 4 on the Radxa Taco v.1.3 breakout board. It’s setup as a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) device that I used samba to share the RAID5 16TB cluster with my local network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I only need to see the monitor output during the setup and now that it’s up and running I don’t use the display a lot anymore. I noticed that for some reasons the monitor screen never blank out as it did when I was running the previous Bullseye OS. I found out that the Xscreensaver program doesn’t work under Wayland and the work around seems like too much work. If you are interested you can try here: https:\/\/www.linux.org\/threads\/xscreensaver-under-wayland.43543\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After browsing the internet for a while looking for a way to get a screen saver or blanking the monitor to work, I discovered that all you need to do is modifying a configuration
sudo nano ~\/.config\/wayfire.ini<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll down to the bottom and add the following<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[idle]\nscreensaver_timeout = 120\ndpms_timeout = 300<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The time unit is in milliseconds so in my example, the screen saver comes on after 2 seconds and the screen blanking after 5 seconds.  You can put -1 to disable either or both of them.  The screen saver is just your screen turning into a spinning cube.  I haven’t figured out how to change it to a different option yet, but this will do for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people complained that this configuration doesn’t work for them.  I don’t know the exact reason as to why that would be.  I want to note that I only have one monitor running at 1920×1080 @ 60 Hz in a Horizontal orientation.   Sounds like people with multiple screens or a vertical orientation might have an issue getting the screen saver or blanking to work properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
