I used various methods: * installed gnome-power-manager and disabled screen power saving * setterm -blank 0 * echoing "setterm -blank 0" to the dev/ttyXs * xset s off * Kernel parameter in Grub consoleblank=0 A kernelsetting for this seem to have existed in older kernels, but seems to have vanished in recent ones. All methods have failed. Does anyone know of a way to just keep the screen on? Thanks, Norman
