I've tried searching and decided to skip it. My chief suspect is EnergyStar related conformity. I'm running 10.04 and have to run a little script every reboot or resume to disable EnergyStar or my screen goes blank after some minutes. Disabling my touchpad also works into the lot. The script I run in 10.04 is:
#!/bin/sh xset -dpms # Energy Star off (doh) synclient touchpadoff=1 # Touchpad off (duh) I haven't found how to make this permanent and gave up trying in 2011.
