Disable Screen Standby on Debian

Introduction

This is a simple but sometimes useful feature. By default, Debian turns the screen black after 30 minutes and locks the screen after 60 minutes.

It's possible to disable all of these features.

Instructions

Edit the /etc/console-tools/config file and change these lines:

BLANK_TIME=0
POWERDOWN_TIME=0

Reboot and you're all set! :-)
