Jon in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on a RedHat box put the
line Option "BlankTime" "0" in the top of the file like:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
That would take care of X:
Now if in the console it is going blank you need to make
sure somewhere in the rc.sysinit it is calling this:
/usr/bin/setterm -blank 0
that will make a time of zero meaning no blanking
I am just not sure where in RHat the call should be
Hope this is what you wanted,
regards,
Eric Fortner
