What graphics card/chipset is in the machine?
Display controller by Intel with chipset 92930
Could be the Ubuntu-provided Xorg driver for this chipset.
Check out /var/log/xorg.0.log (or similar) and look for errors (lines
with ee at the start)
A final test - can you get knoppix or puppy linux onto a pen drive and
boot that? Will have a completely different X config.
Ran up puppy linux last night - screen blanking did not seem to affect
the display at all when it was activated again - did it 20 or 30 times
and was all good.
Does this imply there is something wrong with my configuration?
Or should I try KDE instead - is it different in the way it handles the
display somehow?
Try logging in with KDE now, rather than gnome.
You could also try going to testing or sid as a later release.
It certainly is related to the software and/or config.
