should be 'setterm -blank 0 -store'. This should (I think; this is
untested) turn off blanking entirely. Also play around with 
'setterm -powersave off -store'. Just run setterm without options for a
list of what it does, remember to append -store to everything... but yeah,
the manpage is remarkably useless.
