I ment that the settings are not defined in the kernel but instead by user space applications.

Kernel (?) screen blanking
Hi... Whenever I leave the console for what seems like 10 minutes or so, the screen goes blank. Not in power-down because the monitor doesn't support that, but it just goes blank. Happened in X too, when I had it installed. Does anyone know how to configure/disable this? Alex -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Does anyone know how to configure/disable this? setterm -blank [0-60] ; setting this to 0 disables blanking. It's a bit more complicated in X, but take a look at 'man xset'.
