Screen keeps going blank but should NOT ! :-/

[kyle.smith]

I hate to play the obvious card, but do you have xscreensaver
configured?  (System>Prefs>Screensaver in default GNOME interface)  That
got me the other day while trying to set up a Kiosk system...

Hope it's this easy!

Thanks Ray, will try that. 

xset q reports the following:

**********
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  0    cycle:  0
**********

The time out delay is '0', I presume it means 'never' trigger the
screensaver.
