Thinkpad A22 problems with xfree86 ver 4



I upgraded a friends Thinkpad A22 to xfree86 version 4. Was running version 3.
Now X doesn't work properly.
The X server is shutting down (being sent a signal 4) whenever there is inactivity for 20 minutes. Also a virtual console is behaving similarly as it automatically logs out whenever inactivity exceeds 20 minutes.
NOTE: by inactivity I mean no key presses of mouse movements.

Is this an X problem? The virtual console symptoms imply that it is not. It sounds more like some sort of security setting that logs off a user after inactivity timeout. Is it something to do with APM or possibly BIOS settings ????

Has anyone else experience similar problems ??

Any ideas, clues or suggestions on how to fix this????

Many many thanks for any help or advice. Please CC me directly as well as replying to the list.
Brendan Simon.
