Im running a headless installed of fedora core 2 with no X interface
installed, yet my screen still blanks itself after 10 minutes. As far as
I can tell, this type of behaviour is disable in bios, and didnt occur
when I was running win2k server on the same machine.
You're experiencing a console screen blank. To disable it:
setterm -blank 0
