Console blanking

[AndyD]

Has anyone been able to disable console blanking (debian)?

I am SSHing into the Pi and so don't have a keyboard/mouse attached. Console goes blank after a while (although can still display OpenGL ES programs). Did some searching on this and thought that adding consoleblank=0 to commandline.txt would prevent screen blanking, but alas it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to stop console blanking?

The kernel parameter would work, except that debian overrides it during the boot sequence. Change BLANK_TIME to 0 in /etc/kbd/config

To effect the change without rebooting: sudo sh -c "TERM=linux setterm -blank 0 >/dev/tty0"

Thanks!
