NetBSD-current includes pcvt in the standard system now. You'll have
to config it in and change your ttys file to make it work, however.
Pcvt provides *text* terminal screen blanking. You use scon to
control pcvt options if you have pcvt installed. Man scon and pcvt
for details (if you've installed pcvt). Also, look in
/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/doc for details on setting up pcvt.
XFree86-2.x provides graphics screen blanking right in the X-server.
Try man xset for details on setting its options.
