FYI: There is a directory eyc/console however it is empty. I'm
wondering if there is supposed to be something there?
Contents of etc/kbd/config posted below.
#
# This files tells the 'kbd' package:
#
# - whether to load a specific font and boot (and maybe a screen-font
map,
# but you should avoid that if possible).
# - whether to setup an Application-Charset Map other than the default
CP437.
# - whether to do screen saver/DPMS settings
# - whether to change the keyboard rate/delay or the state of the
# keyboard indicators
# - whether to show a clock
#
# You can also specify per-VC settings by suffixing variable names as in
# the examples below. This only works on framebuffer devices.
#
# For consistency with the configuration file of console-tools the
# following variables and their _vcN versions are also supported:
# SCREEN_FONT, SCREEN_FONT_MAP and APP_CHARSET_MAP.
#
#
# Example:
#
#CONSOLE_FONT=iso01.f16
#CONSOLE_FONT_vc2=LatArCyrHeb-16
#
#CONSOLE_MAP=iso05
#CONSOLE_MAP_vc2=user
#
# Set the following - more euro-friendly default than kernel font.
#CONSOLE_FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16.psf
# Forget this one unless you _know_ it is necessary for your font:
#FONT_MAP=iso01
# screen saver/DPMS settings: all VCs
# These settings are commented by default to avoid the chance of damage
to
# very old monitors that don't support DPMS signalling.
# screen blanking timeout. monitor remains on, but the screen is
cleared to
# range: 0-60 min (0==never) kernels I've looked at default to 10
minutes.
# (see linux/drivers/char/console.c)
BLANK_TIME=30
# blanking method (VESA DPMS mode to use after BLANK_TIME, before
powerdown):
# on: the default, no DPMS signalling. near instant powerup, no power
saving
# vsync: DPMS Standby mode. nearly instant recovery, uses 110/120W (17"
screen)
# hsync: DPMS Suspend mode. typically 3s recovery, uses 15/120W (17"
screen)
# powerdown,off: DPMS Off mode, typ. 10s recovery, uses 5/120W (17"
screen)
# Those values are for my 17" Mag, but some monitors do suspend the same
as
# standby. xset dpms force {off|standby|suspend|on} is useful for this,
if X
# supports DPMS on your video card. Set X's DPMS screensaver with xset
dpms
# or use option power_saver in XF86Config
#
# DPMS set by default to on, because hsync can cause problems on certain
# hardware, such as Armada E500 laptops
BLANK_DPMS=off
# Powerdown time. The console will go to DPMS Off mode POWERDOWN_TIME
# minutes _after_ blanking. (POWERDOWN_TIME + BLANK_TIME after the last
input)
POWERDOWN_TIME=30
# rate and delay can get only specific values, consult kbdrate(1) for
help
#KEYBOARD_RATE="30"
#KEYBOARD_DELAY="250"

Re: No Consoles???
Hi, On my lenny (debian stable) I use F? to switch to a full-screen console and I use F? to switch the desktops. On my squeeze (debian testing) it works the same way. These distro's run on the same AMD64 p.c., on different partitions. Greetings, Martin.

In my case the consoles work as expected at boot up and I can use them, but after some period of time after I have been using the desktop when I press F? my monitor goes off and when I switch back to the desktop it comes on again. I'm using "ati" in my xorg.conf with the built in video output on this box. If I don't use "ati" in the driver section of my xorg.conf the monitor goes off at almost anytime, desktop or console. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
