Probably not directly related to your problem... but ages ago (I think
it was in potato), I had a similarly weird issue, i.e. the console's
screensaver kept turning off my monitor while I was in X. Particularly
annoying was that, to return to normal mode, every time I had to use
Ctrl-Alt-Fn to switch to a virtual console, type a key, and Ctrl-Alt-F7
to get back to X. It took me quite a while to figure out that I had to
use a little tool called setvesablank to turn off this nonsense...
