- There sure seems to be a growing wealth of utilities for
- 386BSD! However, I can't seem to find any mention of a simple
- screen-blanker that blanks the screen after a specified keyboard
- idle time is reached. Does any such beast exist (that doesn't
- run under X)?
-
- Similarly, is there a utility to kick a VGA card into a 132
- column mode?
-
- For those of us who don't have X up and running yet, these
- utilities would be invaluable, no?
-
- Thanks in advance!
