Hi all,
like the title says, if your screen blanks after a few minutes despite disabling screensaver etc, copy and paste the following command:
Open "Startup Applications" > "Add" then add the command to the command line and give it a name then save it and restart your PC.
Also open Dconf Editor and take out the tick:
Dconf Editor > Org > Gnome > Desktop > Screensaver > idle-activation-enabled
Also, you can paste this command in a terminal then open "Startup Applications" which will now show all startup entries if you are still having problems with screensaver, take out the tick in the box if it is indeed there.
To test whether screensaver is not running after doing the above and a restart, open a terminal and type "xset -q" and check that screensaver is disabled.
Regards Wolfman
