    when I leave the computer without any activity (ie. when I do not use the
    keyboard nor mouse) for a while, the console blanks. And when I move the
    mouse or press some key on the keyboard, the console is redrawn again,
    does anyone know how this is done ? is there some call from/to the linux
    kernel that does this ? and if yes, what is that call ? thanks in
    advance...
