Gentoo runlevel 3

murr4y · 05-13-2007, 08:13 AM

Hi,
I run a kind of "server", an old machine wich runs gentoo in text-mode (runlevel 3). What happens is, after about 10 minutes with inactivity, the screen goes black and I have to press a button to reactivate it, like a screensaver.
Now I don't want to remove this but maybe set the delay a little higher. Where do I configure this?
Probably a relatively basic question but I couldn't find any info on it elsewhere...
Thanks,
heiatufte

looksl ike you want to run "setterm -blank 20" for 20 minutes timeout.

Right, exactly what I was looking for.
Found it weird that max time was 60 minutes though, would prefer to set it to a couple of hours. I guess one will do.
Thanks a lot
