It may be that your power management is just shutting down the screen. try booting noapm & noapci to see if it still does it.
When standing in the login screeen, after a while the screen goes black and you have to touch the keyboard or mouse to get it to wake up.
What is this feature called and how do I turn it off?
I dont have any screen savers installed besides the Blank screen one but I have changed the color and disabled it so it does seem to be that one being activated at the logon screen.
Any hints?

Thats a good idea!
Could look like somthing like that. I already check that it was not the screen
itself, and checked the computer bios, but I didnt try to write the
noapci/noamp to lilo.conf and boot with it.
Crossing my fingers.
Thanks
I still can't get rid of this annoying black screen when standing at the login.
People thinks its not powered on and turn it off.....
I have tried putting options into lilo, fiddled with the bios, unloaded apmd and
tried xset -dmps. Its still goes black after some time.
If I cant get the black screen to go away, could I get a screen saver instead?
Somebody must have tried this.
Pretty please
Putting
sudo xset -dpms
sudo xset s off
in .Xsession for my default user seemed to fix the problem.
