Screensaver on Console for Almalinux

General Discussion & Chat
1

I have an Centos 7.8 Linux on a Terminal Console (no GUI). After a minute or so the Console starts a Screensaver (Blank Screen).
Under Almalinux 9.2 this seems not working, no Screensaver on the Terminal Console.
Is ist possible to acomplish this in AlmaLiniux too ?
Thanks for your Answer - Regards Martin Zahn

setterm --blank=x, where x is the number of minutes you want to wait. Use man setterm for more info.
