Hello All,

I've started to install Gentoo on Apple Powerbook Titanium 400 MHz.

I've started sshd, and went home.

After a day, I've tried to connect to this machine via ssh but got "no connection".

Come back to the office and saw that Powerbook is in powersave mode with disk diconnected.

I really don't need this powersave feature and would like to know how to disable it.

Any help?

Look in your /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf file, you should find what you need to adjust
Code:
# Configuration file for PBButtonsd >= Version 0.5
# for complete list of options please see pbbuttonsd.conf man-page

# [SYSTEM]
#userallowed           = "paranoid"   ; user who is allowed to use IPC
autorescan            = yes      ; automatic rescan of event devices
CmdTimeout            = 8

# [MODULE POWERSAVE]
onAC_policy           = performance   ; nochange, performance, custom or powersave
onAC_TimerAction      = suspend-to-ram      ; none, suspend-to-ram, suspend-to-disk, blankscreen
onAC_CoverAction      = suspend-to-ram
onAC_KeyAction        = suspend-to-ram   ; SleepKey
onAC_SuspendTime      = 4000      ; time in 1/10 seconds
onAC_DimTime          = 700      ; time in 1/10 seconds

Hi,

After a period (couple of minutes) of keyboard inactivity, my LCD screen goes black.

I don't want this behavior, so I looked at /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf but didn't find any option to disable this behavior there.

Could anyone tell me how to disable this "screen goes black" behavior?

setterm -blank 0 in the console you don't want to blank. In X, you can use the xset tool: xset s noblank instead.
