It's probably the DPMS support in X. Disable DPMS by removing the DPMS option from the Monitor section of your X configuration file, or use xset(1) to tune the DPMS settings to your liking.
Thanks. A permanent change was needed, and this does the trick.
This covers 'xset -dpms' ... If I need 'xset s off' as well, where/when can I invoke it? A nasty hack would be from a crontab, after mucking around with xhost first ... as far as I know, I have no user login scripts available ... perhaps I could use GDM PostLogin or PreSession?
