Using the Raspberry Pi 3
My Linux
It's a Yocto image with Sato desktop
root@raspberrypi3:~# lsb_release -a
LSB Version: core-4.1-noarch:core-4.1-arm
Distributor ID: poky

Codename: fido
root@raspberrypi3:~# uname -a
Linux raspberrypi3 4.1.18 #1 SMP Thu Mar 17 10:26:07 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
What I have done so far
Created 10-monitors.conf file
root@raspberrypi3:/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 19 04:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Oct 19 15:15 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1099 Mar 17 08:31 10-evdev.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 330 Mar 19 04:59 10-monitors.conf
and added these
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "ServerLayout0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection
Inspired by this archlinux documentation
Will this work? How do I check that these were taken into effect?
