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!
