@jgoerzen You mean now e.g. setting consoleblank=X will really just produce a black screen after X seconds? (I don't think this is related to dri and kms, at least not only that. I'd have to check but I think some of the setups of mine where the linux virtual console could trigger screen sleep with older versions were using dri and kms? I had to do a hardware change and getting this set up was one of the things I've been postponing. Maybe I should look into this soon...)
