Well, if you had read what I had said, you would have realized that I had said it blanked out as well when in init3. I wasn't using any video player in that init level. This is correct/intentional behavior and likely has nothing to do with scereen blanking when running vlc (see i.e https://superuser.com/questions/152347/change-linux-console-screen-blanking-... for details). So, it's not the media player in any way. And I don't know how much more concise I could be. Applications, which want to prevent screen blanking in running desktop environment needs to notify said environment, some video players (afaik also vlc) even allow more precise setting (see configuration of vlc). True, I didn't mention which desktop (KDE4), but the problem doesn't only happen when I'm in the desktop (init5) as has been clearly mentioned.
