Re: Killing the console screen saver ?
You can probably leave the powersave out. Unless you have a laptop or kernel level support for power management (which is very poor for non-battery power). jk - James S.

Re: Killing the console screen saver ?
Hi James, I run RH6.0 with Jnos and was wondering myself how to get rid of the screen blanking and found the string on the Red Hat site to disable it. setterm -powersave off -blank 0 It worked on this end. By the way my Jnos has been up now for 83 days without a reboot and that reboot was due to a power failure. I run a 486dx2 with 32 megs with RH6. Hope this helps. 73 Steve At 07:55 PM 11/21/99 -0800, you wrote: >tried 'setterm -blank 0' ?? > >jk > >- >James S.

This is interesting as i think i may have had the same problem with the system just locking, i had this when i compiled my first 2.2.x kernel, what i did not do was read the flipping manual, i just defined what i thougt best and away i went, only to find that the first time i started up X and then switched back to a console everything just died, no messages in the logs and no screen dump. The mistake i made was defining Framebuffers wrongly that was i belive with kernel 2.2.10 or 11 i cant remember but i dont think thats the issue here, i have run 2.2.13 without problems. Unfortunaly i get connection refused thesedays when trying to telnet to you, so i cant look to confirm my susspishtions. You might want to try and define the framebuffers with make config use the following as an example, please note i have a matrox video card, if you dont have a matrox dont define one. CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y # CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set # CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM=y # CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE is not set # CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100 is not set # CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set # CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED is not set CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y # CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY is not set CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16=y # CONFIG_FONT_SUN12x22 is not set CONFIG_FONT_6x11=y CONFIG_FONT_PEARL_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_ACORN_8x8=y The above is not perfect and some options are not nessacary, however it does work here ok. You might want to take a look at; /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/* yourself. >Thank you to all those who responded to my kissattach query.

I usually run JNOS for weeks without any problems (and if I do reboot, it isn't because JNOS misbehaved or the kernel locked up). Debian potato, kernel 2.0.38, 40 MB ram, P-100.

Killing the console screen saver ?
Need to ask the Linux Guru's on how to kill the Linux console screen black out. Or, at least change the timing on it. I have a feeling that it may be part of my lockup problems. Was looking in the /etc/sysconfig but did not see anything regarding the console settings. For Richard, I am running RH6.0 with the linux kernel 2.2.13 on a Pentium 133 with 64meg ram. I tried several kernels and they all lock up after a bit. Hmmm, wonder if it is Jnos ? At one time I had it up for days without a problem. I am also posting this to the nos-bbs folks, in case they have some ideas as well. One thing of note is that while I am working on the console , or when someone is using the Squid cache, it seems not to lockup very often. Thank you to all those who responded to my kissattach query. 73, John
