Laptops sometimes have built in hardware apm/dpms which can be set in 
the BIOS.

Hi,

Could someone please tell me how to disable the console blanker. I have 
tried the following:

setterm -blank 0
echo -e "\33[9;0]"

These do not work. I am using a laptop running KDE and Mandrake Version 9.
I have also tried disabling power management again without success.

Thanks in advance
Greg
