Hello, Kyle.
Try the following command:
$ setterm -blank 0
If it works (and I think it should) then you can make it permanant by
adding it to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local. There's probably a config
file somewhere where you can set it, but instead of digging around for
it, I would just tack the command onto rc.local. :)
Actually, I think you could just do
$ setterm -save
and not have to add anything to rc.local...might be worth a try. See
the setterm manpage for details.
The bad thing is that you will need to hook a keyboard up to run the
command because if you run it from a remote terminal it will apply the
settings to _that_ terminal--for example your rxvt. (Of course, the
blank option won't have any effect on a terminal emulator.)
There may be a way to set the options remotely. Does anyone else
know?
Regards,
Ben
