For 2) - add to your rc.conf: screenblank=YES # screenblank_flags="" # and adjust this if needed For 1) - what is the relevant dmesg output for wscons? Have you read the man page? Do the keyboard/mouse device get their mtime updated? Etc... Most of my netbsd machines are headless these days, so I haven't run screenblank in a while, but I used to use it on different architectures. -uwe
