Hi all
I have got GroovyArcade 2019 setup really nice with Attract Mode using Cools layout as the Front End.
My only issue is that after 5 mins or so, the screen goes blank. I would love to disable this!
In Attract Mode, I have set set Screensaver Timeout to '0', and Blank Screen Time to '0'. Neither of these stop the screen from blanking after 5 minutes.
If I set Blank Screen Time to a high number, say, 40000 (two weeks roughly in minutes) then it still goes off after 5 minutes.
I have looked into Arch Linux DPMS settings and notice that there is a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
The DPMS is set to 'False'. I have tried setting this to disable with no joy either.
I also ran many of the suggestions in the link below to no avail.

If I set LXDE to Front End, I get the same problem. Screen goes blank after 5 mins. So it's probably not to do with Attract Mode.
Please help me out!
Cheers all

I managed to solve this
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Set DPMS to "True"
add the following to "ServerLayout"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Have attached my file for anyone else who might need it. Just remove the .txt from the file extension as .conf files not allowed to be uploaded.
