From http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/thc/dox/blanking_disable.txt: Disabling screen blanking in LRP is very easy. In most Linux distributions, you can use the 'setterm' command, but that would waste some 18k on an LRP disk; so, instead, you should skip the middle man and issue an equivelant command to what setterm would do for you anyway: echo -n -e "\033[9;0]" Put that command in any of your boot scripts and you're all set. Thanks to Giulio Orsero and Ian Scott for the answer to this age-old question. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...
