Subject: [gentoo-user] Console won't un-blank
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:02:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vc0vjsru.fsf@blackwolfinfosys.net> (raw)
If I leave my laptop unattended (at a console, not X) and the screen
blanks, pressing a key won't un-blank the terminal. As a test, I ssh'ed
into the laptop and ran:
# setterm -blank poke >/dev/tty$N
(as root, for the current/active TTY) which according to the man page
should restore the screen - no response. Also tried chvt but that
didn't work either. Any suggestions on where to look to see why the
terminal won't restore? Is this a kernel config (ACPI?) issue, or an
agetty issue?
