I've never seen this problem so I have to ask: are you sure it is X that is blanking out your screen? If not, try removing the 'Option "DPMS"' line (or use xset) to disable the X servers blanking and see if it still happens. It could be your kernel that is blanking the virtual terminal, or some APM interaction that is not aware of the USB mouse (do you have CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK set in the kernel?). I use Woody, on an ATI Mach 64 and two different laptops and have never seen the X server misbehave like this (yet ;-) I always use my USB mouse to wake up my monitor when I come back to my desk.
