[gentoo-ppc-user] Where to set console blanking timeout?

[Chris L. Mason]

Hi,

I have gentoo working okay on my iMac G5 (ppc64), but I cannot figure out
how to change the default screen blanking timeout.  After 10 minutes the screen
goes blank, and if I hit any key it comes back.

Can someone please tell me where I need to change this setting?  Is it an option
I need to pass to the framebuffer on boot?

Note, btw, this is in a virtual console with no X running.  If I run
X, DPMS works
correctly, but if I have any of the DPMS timeouts set to over 10
minutes, the screen
still blanks after 10 minues, so I suspect there an overriding
framebuffer timeout
somewhere I need to change.  (If I have the dpms settings lower than 10 minutes,
it does blank and/or turn off as expected.)

Thanks for your help,


Chris
