I have to agree, it's a bit annoying. Testing it is not so easy though. We've had Leap15 running for maybe 2 months, yet it was only yesterday I noticed this. It's one of these "exotic" things that many people have no reason to use.
Well, as for a solution - I'll keep digging to see if I can have a monitor put into suspend, but the consoleblank default setting has to be in the kernel somewhere.
And note, this wasn't a slight on openSuSE testing, I don't think openSuSE had anything to do with it as I have seen this behavior on multiple distros starting sometime in the 4.16.x time frame (it could have been with the 0 release). The only reason I notice is I have 2 servers that have no need for X, so they only have the console up. For literally 15 years, with all AMD, NVidia and Intel video the consoles have always blanked. From the time of CRT's and using xvidtune to setup X it has always worked. I'm not sure it is such an exotic feature. Surely you and I are not the only people that use Linux as a server that don't have X installed ;-) The other possibility is that the kernel code was removed and the blanking responsibility is not another undocumented (or poorly documented) systemd feature. I haven't had the time to run this issue to the ground. I suspect, like others, a simple Monitor->Off has had to do in the interim. -- David C.
