2'8 SPI TFT timeout

I connected the TFT display (http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index. ... PI_Key_TFT) to a NEO 2 and configured it using npi-config. Everything is great. I've got the console screen, I can get touch events and I can use USB keyboard to type. But after 5 minutes or so, the screen goes blank. Probably it's like a screen saver. I need to press a button on the keyboard to get out of it. Screen touches don't do anything.

Please let me know if there is a way to disable it. Thank you.

Try adding consoleblank=0 to kernel boot parameters.
