xset and display invalid id.

[Frank Murphy]

Have the following in xfce autostart:

#!/bin/bash

# Disable screensaver and dpms emergy star.
export DISPLAY :0.0 
xset s off && \
xset -dpms 

on running:
./xset
./xset: line 4: export: `:0.0': not a valid identifier

It appears to be the correct display going by:
echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

The only thing worse than a poorly asked question is a cryptic answer.

Is it really necessary to specify the DISPLAY environment variable
within "Application Autostart" *.desktop file. :)

$HOME/.config/autostart/Screen-saver-off.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=Screen saver off
Comment=Set the screen saver off
Exec=xset s off
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

DPMS portion can be adjusted using the
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/dpms-enabled
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/dpms-enabled
-s true/false

I've had to
it was getting "cannot open display"
in the logs

I don't use power-manager.

Only marmot knows what you're doing with Xfce. :)
