Jan 24, 2016 at 20:29 comment added mgPePe I get an error: setterm: terminal xterm-256color does not support --blank setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device :(

Nov 25, 2012 at 2:26 comment added Will Cobb I rebooted and it accepted it (setterm -powersave off -blank). My screen saver hasn't activated since. Thank you.

Nov 25, 2012 at 1:57 comment added xereeto Or put this in your rc.local (then reboot): sh -c 'setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1'
