I want to disable dimming of the screen occurring after every about 60 seconds of being idle. I tried going to Menu > Power Management, then unchecked Dim display when idle checkboxes in both On AC Power and On Battery Power tabs. I also tried the following commands but the screen still keeps on dimming after about a minute:
xset -dpms
and
xset s off
