Thank you, Liam, this is exactly what I need. I have a question about /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh script, it seems that it calls setterm only for the current virtual console at boot time, i.e. /dev/tty1. If after reboot I switch to say virtual console #2, will the blanking happened ? In other terms, does the blanking option BLANK_TIME in /etc/console-tools/config really apply to all virtual consoles ? Thank you in advance. -- Loïc "heaven is not a place, it's a feeling"
