how to disable screen saver in text mode
Hi,
I installed Fedora Core 8 on my desktop. In its runlevel 3 mode, my screen went to blank in every 10 minutes, I have to press Ctrl key to re-active screen. Any idea how to disable the screen saver so that my screen can be active all the time.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know how to change this, off of the top of my head, but I am sure a Google search for "linux screen blanking" will yield something.  |

This setting will remain active until you exit your shell.
To make it persistent, add it to your ~/.bashrc |
