I've run into a problem with my Dell Inspiron where the screen blanks

blank between keystrokes, and I'm a fair 70 wpm typist.
This ia Fedora 23 64 bit installation, and I've seen the problem on
all three of the current kernel installs,
I regularly see something *somewhat* similar on my Lenovo T530.
Specifically, after running for a couple of days, it begins blanking the
screen after a reliable 15 seconds of inactivity.
At first, I thought this might be a hardware issue with the lid/on-off
switch, since I do close the lid when I'm away from the system.
However, I don't see this in Windows 10 on this dual-boot laptop.
Interestingly, when the screen returns from black after I touch a key,
it often returns to a different window (e.g., I was reading mail in
Thunderbird when it blanked, but Chrome appears when it lights back up).
AND, after a second or two, the screen switches back to the original
window (e.g., t-bird). This tends to suggest something X-related.
