Hello,
My display is always going black after ~10 minutes, I assume this is
standby.
In which recipe can I disable this or change the timeout?
Regards,
Gerard

Its the kernel terminal/console screen blanking which does this. A quick
google found:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-disable-screen-blanking-screen-going-blank.html
which shows how to disable it on the device. I think you might have to
patch the kernel to disable it by default. There may be an option in the
kernel config, I'm not sure.
Hopefully this at least gives you information on where to start looking.
If you do figure it out please report back so others can benefit! :)
Cheers,
Richard

Thanks for the directions, I have got it working by creating a .profile file in /home/root containing the following command:
xset s off> /dev/null 2>&1
The redirection to /dev/null removes the error on the console it can't find a display.
Regards,
Gerard
