A week or so ago, someone mentioned that built in to the console driver
is a timeout to shut off the screen when the machine is idle for a while.

I'm still familiarizing myself with the guts of 386bsd and haven't been
able to find it.  How do I enable this nifty feature?  Or did the original
poster only mean it is built into X?

Thanks.
