I don't know why the virtual consoles go BLANK only after about 20 seconds, it seems to be a problem with the graphics mode && the graphics resolution. In fact, after a very fresh Debian-Installation (Sqeeze / Wheezy anyway ...) the virtual-console had a very,very,very tiny type face AND the graphics resolution within X (KDE) was automaticly choosen at 1600x1200 dpi. A use a Nvidia GTX 210 card and this video mode is the highest available mode. At this mode on my CRT-monitor this video-mode is not good to my eyes :) so I chose another (less higher) resolution. I did not realize the problem with the blanking virtual terminal at once ! (cause of not regularly using the virtual console). When recognizing the problem I thought this occurs at any mode - not until after a few experiments I found out the relation between the graphic- resolution: 1600x1200 o.k. also for the tty1 - tty6 lower than 1600x1200 NOT o.k. kindly Herbert
