TIPS Incredible Pi Slide Show TimeOut

[Shadowhand]

Hello All,
First Post here, Have been putting this off for quite some time but no more.

I have tried looking around for a fix to this but have been not been able to find one thus far. The problem Im currently having is with the built in slide show feature. When started it runs for about 15-20 mins it seems before the screen goes blank and I would assume goes into a Screensaver or power saving mode. Is there anyway to disable the screen blanking and have the slideshow run nonstop without any interruptions. If anyone has the solution I would be most grateful to hear!

Thank You

Perhaps I'm missing something.....slideshow?

"X Windows is included in this build as well. This won’t work with SSH. For a demo slideshow, plug in a real monitor and log in as root. In the /root folder, enter the command: startx. To end the slideshow, press ESCape. To disable the slideshow: mv .xinitrc xinitrc. To add photos, copy .jpg images into /root/slideshow. No mouse is required for the slideshow but, if you run X Windows natively, you’ll need a USB mouse."

This is the feature im trying to get straightened out, Its mentioned in http://nerdvittles.com/?p=10151
My apologies, I should have gave a better description.

Aah, that makes a lot more sense. I also didn't realize that there was slideshow functionality in the Pi builds. TIL.
I don't use the Pi for anything, so I can't be of too much help other than saying that the configuration shouldn't be too different from that of any other Debian X Windows install. As such, you should be able to find some useful info on the internet. It's most likely a screensaver issue or some such.
