To blank the console screen after a set period of time, you must edit this file. The screen saver is not set on by default.

The blanker is activated when either display.kbdact or display.outact is set to "on".

Uncomment the following lines as per the example below. These changes will take place after the next boot.

# vi /etc/wsconsctl.conf
