I have to start a QT-Program on the screen on startup in Linux Mint 9. The monitor that is displaying the program turns off after an unknown amount of time. I already deactivated the turnoff in the systemconfiguration, but it doesn't seem to work.
Hardware specs:
I can't change the OS and the other specs. What can I do to solve this problem?

Issuing those three commands separately is unnecessary, according to Display Power Management Signaling at ArchWiki. All you need is
xset s off -dpms
and all you want will happen.

Open the Power Manager. Select the Display tab. On the left where is says "Blank after", move the slider all the way to the left under Plugged In, or the corresponding power type, batter or plugged in. This is assuming it's not the screen saver that is making your monitor go blank.
This is for Linux Mint 17.2, so I'm not sure if it will be the exact same with your older version.
