Since the last millennium… Defeating kernel blanking: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/1996/12/msg00789.html I don't remember a time when linux didn't blank the console. (1996 Sept.) DPMS: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2000/11/msg02800.html I get the impression that defeating DPMS was the aim of DE users, as here, but that at this time there were many WM users wishing to enable it. It's up to you whether you blame Debian or DE authors. Cheers, David.
