Re: [gentoo-user] stopping screen going blank
Burn a knoppix CD and see if it keeps happening under Knoppix. That is, if Knoppix isn't configured, out the box, to turn off your screen like that. If it does, it's a Linux configuration issue, if it doesn't, then it's hardware. Do you have Windows installed on that machine? Same deal.

Try turning DPMS on in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and setting: Option "BlankTime" Option "StandbyTime" Option "SuspendTime" Option "OffTime" to 0 (if 0 means disable - man xorg.conf).

Check your BIOS. Sometimes there's a timeout in there, especially for notebooks...
