*exasperated sigh* DUDE! I just wrote the documentation for 2.4.20 and now
you want me to *upgrade*? First I need to get my CD-burner working, then I
may consider upgrading...in the mean time:

I found a line in XF86Config-4 which has to do with screen savers and
power states. I've commented it out--although I think the module is still
being called. The line was:
	Option         "DPMS"
under the Monitor settings.

According to man xset:
       -dpms   The -dpms option disables DPMS (Energy Star) features.

       +dpms   The +dpms option enables DPMS (Energy Star) features.

       dpms flags...
               The dpms option allows the DPMS (Energy Star) parameters to  be  set.   The
               option  can take up to three numerical values, or the `force' flag followed
               by a DPMS state.  The `force' flags forces the server to immediately switch
               to the DPMS state specified.  The DPMS state can be one of `standby', `sus­
               pend', `off', or `on'.  When numerical values are given, they set the inac­
               tivity  period  (in units of seconds) before the three modes are activated.
               The first value given is for the `standby' mode,  the  second  is  for  the
               `suspend'  mode, and the third is for the `off' mode.  Setting these values
               implicitly enables the DPMS features.  A value of zero disables a  particu­
               lar mode.

I've also done: 
	xset -dpms 
to disable whatever this is. I'll get a chance to test it out tonight
when I can leave my computer for a chunk of time to see if there's still a
problem.
