P5 16s-Scroll to Static

[HummingBuddha]

Hello Hzeller

I am trying to make the scroll fields static. "./send-text -h localhost "Flaschen" -f fonts/10x20.bdf -s 20 -g 288x64+64+10+1" . I have tried with '-s 0', but it works for 10-15 seconds. I am trying for an infinite static . Please guide me in this issue.

the 10 seconds are just the layer timeout on the server (--layer-timeout): if nothing is happening on a layer, the layer is garbage collected, so that nobody can hog a layer forever by sending a single packet and walking away. Only layer 0 stays forever.
If you don't need this do one of the following

• Send it to layer 0. That never gets garbage collected
• For other layers: Regularly refresh the content before the timeout occurs.
• If you're running your own installation (and we're not talking about the public installation at Noisebridge): Set the --layer-timeout on the server to a very long time or even comment out the garbage collector start.
