<SNIP LOTS OF OTHER STUFF>
It could be an APM issue, but console blanking is turned on on debian. After GTFW, for "linux console screen blanking" I found several
references to "setterm -blank N" where N is the number of minutes to
elapse before the console is blanked. N=0 will disable this.
Yea, that's it - I found a reference to it foe RH 9.0. I just tried: "setterm -blank 2" and two minutes later (on my stopwatch) it blanked.
Thanks, it been bugging me for a while, I wonder if its documented anywhere (not in "man" but some default document) ?
