Afaik this screen blanking is someting what I call as "Linux screensaver". It's most propably embedded in kernel.
This screen blanking happens with my old computer that has all the powersaving functions disabled. And it's around 10 minute idle when it occurs.

I'd too like to know how to set this longer/off. And even better: if it could not just turn screen blank but to stop sending signal to monitor. My monitor regonizes when there's no signal and turns itself off, but if the screen goes just blank my monitor stays powered.

I belive there's some GNU tool for this. Or it's just something that you need to set via /proc...

Please anyone who knows someting about this, post your ideas/knowledge.

I've seen some machines where it's controlled only by the bios... maybe yours is one of those?
