Bug Description
Binary package hint: kbd
This concerns kbd 1.14.1-4ubuntu4 in Ubuntu Jaunty.
I am setting up a text-mode-only server that will normally run headless. I want to disable console blanking, so that in the event of a kernel panic, I can attach a monitor and read the stack trace. So I make the following edits to /etc/kbd/config:
* Set BLANK_TIME=0
* Set BLANK_DPMS=on
* Set POWERDOWN_TIME=0
And still, the console blanks after about twenty minutes or so (not that I timed it). It shouldn't even be necessary to make all three of these changes---I believe setting BLANK_TIME=0 alone should do the trick---but it underscores the point that console blanking cannot be disabled here.

Same here although I've set BLANK_DPMS=off . Anyway, my guess is that this is only affected by the "BLANK_TIME" setting as for me the screen is blank but not powered down (i.e. not in standby).
