%SECTION0{name=SwitchOffScreenSaverAndBlinkingCursor}% How to switch off the screen saver and the blinking cursor? Question:: I'm using a splash screen on my frame buffer display, but it is disturbed by a blinking cursor, and after a while the screen is blanked. How can I prevent this? Answer:: Screen saver and blinking cursor can be turned off (and on) using escape sequences. %BR% %BR% To turn off the screen saver, send the sequence ="\E[9;0]"= to the terminal ="/dev/tty1". For example, output the content of file [[%ATTACHURL%/blank_off][ ="/etc/blank_off"= ]] in one of your _init_ scripts: <verbatim> # cat /etc/blank_off </verbatim> To turn off the blinking cursor, send the sequence ="\E[?25l\E[?1c"= to the terminal. For example, copy the content of file [[%ATTACHURL%/init_tty][ ="/etc/init_tty"= ]] to the terminal: <verbatim> # cat /etc/init_tty </verbatim> For details, please see _"man 4 console_codes"_ .
