--Try booting with one of the framebuffer options (F2 at the boot prompt)

boot: ' fb800x600 ' == This is what I use on my laptops.

--When you get into kde, open up a Konsole or rxvt (whatever) and issue:

' xset s off '

--At a regular virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 thru F4) issue:
' setterm -blank 0 '

--See if that helps, and post back here.

The mouse was still usable...sound still worked....I just powered down and rebooted.

Any ideas folks?
