Is setterm expected to work in recent systems? On the Debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae kernel "setterm -blank poke" doesn't wake the screen up and "setterm -blank 0" doesn't stop it from blanking.
If you are running it remotely, you will probably need to redirect the command output to the appropriate tty. Depending on the setup, you might also need to override the TERM variable: ssh remote-machine setterm -term linux -blank 0 >/dev/tty1 I tested on both 2.6.32 and a 3.2.0 kernels. It wouldn't let me remotely force the blank or wakeup (-blank force, -blank poke) remotely, but setting the wakeup time to 0 or 1 worked fine (-blank 0, -blank 1). regards, Glenn -- sks-keyservers.net 0x6d656d65
