My machine does that too. Assumed it was the 3d screen saver not being able to display correctly because i have a rather strange video card (elsa erazor x2). I changed my screen saver to something more simple and it was ok. Do you have to reboot after the blanking? Does your monitor go into power saving mode? Does you status light on your screen turn amber or does it stay green?

Re: [newbie] in runlevel 3 - screen goes blank after a time Thanks, but I think it's in the OS, not the monitor (this display is switched to run 4 boxes and Mandrake Linux is the *only* one that goes blank). Where do I disable screen blanking in init 3 (or in the command line interface) ?
