Howdy. 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?

Probably adding it to your local i3 configuration file will solve the problem. 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.

This will fix it for me, but not for other users who login. How do I make the change global?
