Screensaver - LCD Burnin

[josephrenda]

I'm worried about LCD screen burn in. Is there a way, or what can be done to "shut off" the screen?

I have lcars running as a service on RPI startup, but the lcar screen runs forever.

You could try using the XWindows xset command to set up the screensaver:

Perhaps setting a watchdog timer that goes to a black window in the absence of user input over a configurable time period? Myself, I've never had good luck using xset to get the screen saver to work. If you do it entirely within the application, there is better control.

I am thinking about screensaver implementation. I hope I will add it soon.
