Look in /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh for "BLANK_TIME". I also just
made my own init script to set it as I want on my MP3 player:
#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Setting screen blank to 10 mins."
setterm -blank 10
;;
stop)
echo "Setting screen blank to 180 mins."
setterm -blank 180
;;
reload|restart|force-reload)
echo "Re-Stopping screen blanking."
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Works great
