I'm using Arch Linux + GNOME3 on desktop, and when the system starts or the user logs out, gdm
displays the login screen for about 20 seconds and then turns off the display (although the computer is still running). Is it possible to disable this? I want the monitor to keep displaying the login screen "forever". I couldn't find any way to configure this.

That's because of the
idle-delay
setting. To change it you'll have to alter the correspondingdconf
key (and do that as thegdm

(e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F3), login as root and run:to switch user to
gdm
.then run:
and set idle delay to
0
(which translates to never):run
exit
or hit Ctrl+D to return to root account.reboot your machine or restart the display manager:
