Anyone know how to disable console blanking?
I do not have DPMS mode enabled, or APM installed on the box, yet the console still "blanks" after a few minutes of inactivity. I have looked all over, and I can find nothing explaining how to disable it!
I know it's not putting the monitor to sleep, because I don't get the amber LED on the monitor. It just blanks the screen!

I had a similar experience, yesterday. The difference here was that my KDE desktop was blanked. APM was disabled, and I was not using a screensaver. Nothing I did would allow me to move from that blanked desktop. I finally hit the 'big switch' and started over. I await comments and answers to Joseph Hobbs' dilemma, in hopes I can learn something from them.
