GARGH!!!

Ok....

1) setterm -blank 0
2) setterm -powersave off
3) disable BIOS power management
4) disable APM support in kernel

The flaming thing STILL blanks the screen.....
At least now its not killing the keyboard or shutting down unmanned...

This is a wierd one...especiall since it works perfectly on my other box....
