Ubuntu server system (no X installed) that runs several networking daemons. It's been headless for years but I recently attached a monitor to it and installed some cli monitoring utilities (glances and pysensors) as this server is also my NAS gateway.
Been on this horrific easter-egg hunt searching for how-to disable the screen-blanking / powersaver mode for the terminal.
I'm hesitant to remove acpi as a package because of unknown/future interdependencies.
Somewhere, there's some obscure config setting that will prevent the monitor from blanking. I've disabled the sleep option in the monitor's firmware - and, of course a key-press on the kb will awaken the screen...but not sleeping at all is optimal.
thanks...
