Yes and no. The confusing thing about screen blanking is that there are two different agents in control of it, and which one handles it depends on whether you're within X or not. In console mode, setterm does it (as you correctly point out); but in X, xset does it. And if you're running KDE, I believe that the xset settings are overridden by the ones in the KDE Control Center. Paul
