Disable screen blanking on RHEL 7?
 
When my screen is locked (I want this to happen!), it very quickly blanks. I don't want that to happen... maybe after an hour or so, but I want the locked screen to stay visible. I've tried Googling, but cannot find someone asking the same question with a clear, reproducible answer.

Something not working with Settings -> Privacy -> Screen Lock?

There's usually a setting under "power" or similar for blanking the screen after a certain period of time.

Under Power, there's a "Blank screen" setting, but that's not for the login screen. When I lock my screen, it's blanked within a second.
