[SOLVED] BlankScreen in (root) console mode

[Daniel]

Hi,

I boot in root console. But, after a few minuts, the screen become black.

It is because of DPMS.

With X, i use

Code: [Select]

xset -dpms
Without X, i've test vbetool (on) but same result after minuts ...

Is there any kernel parameter to set to command line ?
Or anything else ?

Thanks
Daniel.

I have never tried this, but have you looked into 'setterm'?

[Daniel]

No.

Following your question, i look setterm parameters... and i found a thread solution :
"consoleblank=0" to kernel parameter.

I test it : YESSSS

Thanks!

Daniel.

Hi,

 Sorry for my noob question but how did you set this kernel parameter?

 There is no 'setterm' command, no environment variable and no file named this on my system.
 (I'm using MicroCore so there is no xversa.)

 What am I missing here?

Using AppBrowser's "Provides" button shows that setterm is part of util-linux-ng.tcz

Oh... okay it's a boot parameter Sorry
It was just weird that it's not on the page: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/faq.html#bootcodes
I thought thats a complete list of the available boot time parameters, but it's not.
