Fedor,

I noticed that your screen kept blanking on you during your PLUG talk
the other night.  In order to make that stop, you much snick over to a
Linux console, and use the "setterm" command to shut off the kernel
screen blanker.  "setterm" by itself will print it's usage information.

You might also need to shut off the X Window System's screen blanker,
which you can do using the "xset" command.  It also will print it's
usage when you type it by itself with no arguments.
