Thanks for posting that.  You wanna hear my brutal hack?
in /path/to/kernel/source/drivers/char/console.c

There's a function called timer_do_blank_screen()
I changed:
    if (console_blanked)
	        return;

to:
            return;


Talk about smashing a fly with a sledgehammer!

Anyway, I really appreciate you following up with that link.
