Subject: How do I turn off the screen saver

    Hi

    I'm running 7.0 on a Sparcstation Voyager, it's basically being used as a
    dumb terminal (colour). But I want the display
    to be on constantly, how do I turn off the inbuilt screen saver, is it part
    of the shell or a setup feature in yast etc.

    Craig
