My monitor no longer blanks after going idle. It used to when I ran gnome-classic. I am running Ubuntu 14.04. Running `xset 0 0 300` seems to get things working properly, but I have to do this by hand. Where is the proper place to configure this so that it is the default for all users/logins?

Add the following line to `~/.config/i3/config` or `~/.i3/config`: > `exec --no-startup-id xset 0 0 300` If you have neither of the files, create a local copy of `/etc/i3/config` first.Mon, 04 May 2015 05:26:09 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5938/getting-screen-to-blank/?answer=5940#post-id-5940Comment by mankyd for <p>Probably adding it to your local i3 configuration file will solve the problem.
