I've never seen anything like that other than problems similar to that like with powermanagement on PC's, which is the first thing i disable when i see it enabled on a machine to correct a problem. You may have a problem with your framebuffer, but for the mean time you may want to comment out in:
/etc/rc.d/rc.M /bin/setterm -blank 15 That's the standard timeout time that I've seen on other distributions, I've disabled this when I'd have machines that would hang and lock and I couldn't 'turn on' the monitor to see the kernel panics or other errors to diagnose the problem. If you're worried about your screen possibly look for a screensaver or turn the monitor off would probably work just as well.
