 IIRC, the X server is trying to 0 out the colormap.  I got around this
 by just setting an enormous BlankTime (and I got paranoid w/ StandbyTime and
 SuspendTime as well):

Why not just set the timeout to 0, which disables the mode?

 I'm experiencing xserver-fbdev crashes of two types:
 
 1. Fatal server error: fbdevUpdateColormap: FBIOPUTCMAP failed (Function
 not implemented)
 
 2. Caught Signal 11
 
 The problems seem to be screensaver-related. After about 10 minutes of
 inactivity the server dies.

Energy Star features (put screen on standby, suspend, etc.) are not
compatible with No Video Driver Checked -- If you try it, you will get
the error you listed in #1.
 
Try unchecking No Video Driver or disabling DPMS (energy saving) using
'xset -dpms'.
