If I leave my laptop unattended (at a console, not X) and the screen blanks, pressing a key won't un-blank the terminal. As a test, I ssh'ed into the laptop and ran:
# setterm -blank poke >/dev/tty$N (as root, for the current/active TTY) which according to the man page should restore the screen - no response. Also tried chvt but that didn't work either. Any suggestions on where to look to see why the terminal won't restore? Is this a kernel config (ACPI?) issue, or an agetty issue? -- Michael J.
