# # This files tells the 'kbd' package: # # - whether to load a specific font and boot (and maybe a screen-font map, # but you should avoid that if possible). # - whether to setup an Application-Charset Map other than the default CP437. # - whether to do screen saver/DPMS settings # - whether to change the keyboard rate/delay or the state of the # keyboard indicators # - whether to show a clock # # You can also specify per-VC settings by suffixing variable names as in # the examples below. This only works on framebuffer devices. # # For consistency with the configuration file of console-tools the # following variables and their _vcN versions are also supported: # SCREEN_FONT, SCREEN_FONT_MAP and APP_CHARSET_MAP. # # # Example: # #CONSOLE_FONT=iso01.f16 #CONSOLE_FONT_vc2=LatArCyrHeb-16 # #CONSOLE_MAP=iso05 #CONSOLE_MAP_vc2=user # # Set the following - more euro-friendly default than kernel font. #CONSOLE_FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16.psf # Forget this one unless you _know_ it is necessary for your font: #FONT_MAP=iso01 # **** screen saver/DPMS settings: all VCs **** # These settings are commented by default to avoid the chance of damage to # very old monitors that don't support DPMS signalling. # screen blanking timeout. monitor remains on, but the screen is cleared to # range: 0-60 min (0==never) kernels I've looked at default to 10 minutes. # (see linux/drivers/char/console.c) # This is set to zero to avoid blanking the screen, because if a crash occurs # it can conceal the output. On systems running with a graphical desktop, X # is responsible for dpms settings, so this will not affect systems running # graphically, and it makes more since for a non graphical system to not blank # the screen automatically as most non graphical systems are headless unless # a monitor has been attached for debugging BLANK_TIME=0 # blanking method (VESA DPMS mode to use after BLANK_TIME, before powerdown): # on: the default, no DPMS signalling. near instant powerup, no power saving # vsync: DPMS Standby mode. nearly instant recovery, uses 110/120W (17" screen) # hsync: DPMS Suspend mode. typically 3s recovery, uses 15/120W (17" screen) # powerdown,off: DPMS Off mode, typ. 10s recovery, uses 5/120W (17" screen) # Those values are for my 17" Mag, but some monitors do suspend the same as # standby. xset dpms force {off|standby|suspend|on} is useful for this, if X # supports DPMS on your video card. Set X's DPMS screensaver with xset dpms # or use option power_saver in XF86Config # # DPMS set by default to on, because hsync can cause problems on certain # hardware, such as Armada E500 laptops BLANK_DPMS=off # Powerdown time. The console will go to DPMS Off mode POWERDOWN_TIME # minutes _after_ blanking. (POWERDOWN_TIME + BLANK_TIME after the last input) POWERDOWN_TIME=30 # rate and delay can get only specific values, consult kbdrate(1) for help #KEYBOARD_RATE="30" #KEYBOARD_DELAY="250" # Turn on numlock by default #LEDS=+num # Display a clock in the right upper corner of the console by running vcstime #DO_VCSTIME=yes
