not sure why but with this specific OS, the screen will go blank after about 4 minutes, and I have to move the mouse to resume the display. Even when I adjust the settings in the system options, it still does this regardless. I've set it to one hour or even "never", and it still just does the same thing. Kind of annoying if I'm watching a video on youtube for example and the screen goes blank mid-video. I've tried both changing the settings with the common menu options, and also went into the "settings editor" and tried entering in longer time periods for the blank screen, but none of it seems to affect the behavior, and the screen blanks out quickly when I'm reading or anything that doesn't involved mouse/keyboard input.
Is there some other way I could bypass or override this behavior? Ultimately I'd like to have it dim the screen eventually (like 15-20 minutes or something) just to prevent accidentally leaving it on all night, but the quick duration it has right now is not so great.
If it makes any distinction, I'm running it on a laptop that is being used like a tower and connected to an external monitor with an HDMI cable
