How do I disable screen blanking on Raspberry Pi
I am running Raspbian, and I am using this as a display device for a TV in a retail centre. I run Chromium on startup with this line in .profile:
xinit /usr/bin/chromium --kiosk --incognito www.mysite.com
...however none of the solutions to disable screen blanking seem to work (although they do work if I am in the Raspbian GUI). It is quite important (as you can imagine) that the display screen does not go blank.
Does anyone have any solutions to this?
I have tried the following:
setting the xinitrc file as in this example https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/2059/disable-screen-blanking-in-x-windows-on-raspbian
setting exec /usr/bin/X -s 0 dpms -nolisten tcp "$@" in xserverrc
setting blank timeouts in /etc/kbd/config
setting /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with the following line: xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
non of the above have worked
I have noticed a possible solution which entails installing xscreensaver then disabling it but I do not know how to make it run on startup.

Adding the above xset lines to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart has worked for me in the past. I've not had to use the xscreensaver line.

All that is needed to stop the screen from going blank system wide is in /root/cmdline.txt. Add:
`consoleblank=0`
after console=tty1 and reboot.
