Hi,
RedHat (and most Linux distro and Unix flavors) automatically blanks the
screen (both text console and X display) when there is no keyboard or
mouse activity for some time. I always thought it is a good feature,
preventing "burns" on the monitor. Until I decided to migrate our
datacenter's monitoring PC from Windows to RedHat.
We are using a combination of Nagios and MRTG to monitor our servers and
the network bandwidth. The resulting HTML pages are displayed in some
Windows-based PCs manned by datacenter operators. So the good behavior
of Linux to blank the console is not applicable here.
Things I have tried:
* disable the power management in the BIOS
* call "setterm -blank 0" during boot up (works only for VT)
* disable apmd
Still, my consoles go blank. Any other way to disable this feature?
Thanks in advance.
