    What's the incantation to turn on screen blanking on 64 bit RasPiOS?

    I dunno, but I always use xset from a terminal in Linux:

    xset s 300
    blanks the sceen after 300 seconds.

    xset s 0 stops any blanking

    see man xset for more good stuff

    Put it in your startup script?
    Works on my 32 bit Pi4 8GB, just tested
    and on all my Linux computahs ;-)

    Maybe it would make sense if Raspberry P4 came with something like
    Type F1 for BIOS setup
    on power-up.
    \
    Now that is HAS EEPROM?

    Because whether it does screen blanking/screen saver is nothing to do
    with a "BIOS"?

    Sorry replied to the wrong posting it seems
    Still a normal type F1 for BIOS setup would be a good thing.
    It was intended for the boot sequence sdcard versus USB thread
    any normal BIOS allows you to select that.
