Yes. It is actually kernel code that blanks the multiscreens after a
period of inactivity. The method for setting the timeout is to run
the program called configure in the directory /etc/conf/cf.d. It gives
you a menu of things to configure, pick the one for multiscreens. It
will prompt you for a number of values, take the defaults on all of them
except the one that asks for the number of seconds of idle before blanking
the screen. Exit configure, run ./link_unix, and reboot.
