I agree that it was a fantastic writeup. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem. That solves the problem of the console blanking (screen saver mode) when there is no input. The blanking I'm seeing happens even when there IS input happening on the console. Using setterm to turn off blanking does indeed stop the osd0 window from turning off and displaying whatever is on vid1 (which is just a green screen at this point since nothing has been written to it). That doesn't happen ever since I set the blankinterval to 0*60*HZ in vt.c I CAN get that behavior to come back if I set the interval to say 1*60*HZ. If i set it longer than 5 minutes, the screen just goes straight black and never returns.

So am I really the only one in the world that's having this issue?

Not really.  There was a very nice write up on the mailing list
regarding this topic before.   In summary, 5 minutes is when screen
saver kicks in.
