In version Beta 3a of the SysV, you could logout of a
virtual screen, and the console screen would go blank.

In version Beta 3j, when you logout of a virtual screen,
you are informed of the fact with a big message.  If you
want your screen to be blank, however, you are out of luck.

I modified the F10 virtual screen to have both the text and
the background screens black to give me a nice screen
blanker.

The /etc/inittab line is below:

F10:23:respawn:/etc/getscr -g10 -x800 -y600 -0 000 -1 000 term/con10 con # F10
