I thought that the VT blanking was separate from the X blanking.
I'm sure it is. :) But I'm desperate. Also, instinct tells me that if there's any kind of "power management" blanking, it would work regardless of what video mode I'm in. (And with an LCD, there's no way to really tell the difference between a blank screen, and power saving.)
Any chance you're running X in frame buffer mode? Maybe then the VT blanking matters? Just a shot in the dark.
Nope, straight up XFree86 to the hardware. Really all I need is more ways to turn off screen blanking in Linux and/or X. I'll try 'em all and report which one actually worked for me. ;) But I've exhausted (I think) setterm and xset. What else is there? -Chuck
