Title: MC 9 Screen blank / screen saver
Post by: remus on May 14, 2018, 11:27:07 PM
Hi all,

Sorry if this sounds like a realy stupid question.

I was wondering how I set MC to blank the screen after x minutes of no keyboard input ?

Thanks :)

See man setterm

Feed back much appreciated curaga.

My results with setterm experiments from the command line

Code: [Select]
$ setterm
-sh: setterm: not found

Perhaps its a part of a tcz package.

I'll have to learn how to use appbrowser to search the tcz's for it.
