How Webconverger blanks

Webconverger uses Xorg's default Energy saving and screen blanking features by default.

xset q reveals:

Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  600    cycle:  600

So typically Webconverger will only blank after 10 minutes. However monitor hardware can override this.

Customers who don't want the screen to blank at all should use the boot option noblank (available from version 2.45 of webconverger-base). Note without blanking a typical (non-specialised) monitor's life span will be drastically shortened. Of course such a feature is an absolute must if Webconverger is acting as a digital sign.

Kiosk reset

The cmdline boot option kioskresetstation resets the Webconverger terminal after a specified number of minutes of inactivity.

For example, appending kioskresetstation=10 will reset the kiosk after ten minutes of inactivity.

Hiding the mouse cursor

Unclutter is run by default in Webconverger

To override, you can add the boot parameter showcursor.
