Thanks to plenty of clear and sufficient advices about getting rid off 'screen saver', I can say I am pretty experienced in that field (at least theoretically)... However I did not solve the problem yet!

The thing is, that this solution (which seems to be the best one) after few moments of waiting, gives me a black&white picture - a perfect one to make sb feel dizzy. It looks like some kind of repeatable, deformed-checker pattern.

Poking the mouse or pressing any key makes it disappear and recovers the normal screen.

Could you please give me any hints to check out what actually went wrong?

I am running the latest distribution of Raspbian on Raspberry Pi 2.0. In the background there are an Apache, FTP and MySQL servers running and also Chromium in the kiosk mode.

Cheers

Did you make these entries in the global config file in /etc or in your home directory /home/pi? – Steve Robillard Nov 26 '12 at 22:34
Thanks for the response. I have tried both ways, but only second one brought me to any noticeable change - I mean appearance of psychedelic checkers in place of normal black screen. – FJaskolski Nov 26 '12 at 23:40

To be clear you have tried adding the following 3 lines (without the number and right parenthesis) lines to your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file: 1) xset s off 2) xset -dpms 3) xset s noblank The first specifically disables the screen saver – Steve Robillard Nov 26 '12 at 23:50
