Yes. I find this useful. As root: # cat > /etc/init.d/noblank #!/bin/sh echo -n "Disabling screen blanking..." /usr/bin/setterm -blank 0 echo "done." ^D # chmod 755 /etc/init.d/noblank # ln -s /etc/init.d/noblank /etc/rc2.d/S99noblank This automatically turns off the blanking as part of the boot process.
