Talking to myself again ;-) It is either a sign of intelligence or craziness,
take your pick.

Worked it mostly out.

>From "man console_codes", qt-embedded and lots of googling:

To switch the screen back on: echo -e '\033[13]' > /dev/tty0
To hide the cursor: echo -e '\033[?25l' > /dev/tty0
To unhide the cursor: echo -e '\033[?25h' > /dev/tty0
To stop the screen blanking: echo -e '\033[9;0]' > /dev/tty0
To set time until screen blankingt: echo -e '\033[9;n]' > /dev/tty0
                                                        ( replace n with number of minutes required ).

I don't know why qt-embedded also uses '\033[?33l'

Hope this saves someone else some frustration.

Cheers,

Scott.
