Having setup my PI with a simple image viewer (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21566.0.html (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21566.0.html)) I now face the problem, that my screen turns off after a few minutes. I guess picore thinks that since I do not interact with it, it can safely turn off the screen.
I found this post http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21118.msg132038.html#msg132038 (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21118.msg132038.html#msg132038) which seem to discuss the same issue.
I don't have Xorg installed, so xset
should be irrelevant for me. It tried the other method setterm -blank 0
but I get the error message:
setterm: terminal vt102 does not support --blank
Are there some configuration options that I can set to prevent the PI from sleeping due to inactivity?

Hi Rich
No I haven't seen that post, but it seems to do just what I want.
For future reference, this is what I put into /home/tc/.profile:
echo -e '\033[9;0]'
Thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Hi Chau
Glad to hear it worked. I'll mark this thread as solved.
