Can any one give me a clue? There's console blanking and Xwindows blanking . I don't know which affects the xdm login screen but this is how you disable both: console: in /etc/rc.conf look for the 2 lines: blanktime="300" # blank time (in seconds) or "NO" to turn it off. saver="daemon" # screen saver desired: blank/green/snake/star/NO. change the blanktime line to: blanktime="NO" # blank time (in seconds) or "NO" to turn it off. I X it's controlled by ``xset''. Use ``xset s off'' to disable it. I'm not sure where you would put that for xdm login, normally it would be in ~/.xinitrc but I don't know if that has been run yet (is there an ~/.xdmrc?).
