Maybe, just maybe, could it be the bios blanking your screen ???
Might look better trimmed, but ....
I looked a BIOS configuration previously. I thought that it might be it too. I didn't see any configuration or any feature that would correspond to screen blanking. I didn't turn off power management as all it seemed to control was the Hard Drive. That and the ability to grab a console with CTRL-ALT-F1 left me to leave BIOS as it was. I solved this on another system by adding in a Nvidia GT 610 and letting nvidia-settings generate a xorg.conf then disabling display power management in xorg.conf It was running tumbleweed too. I had to put that system back under Windows 7 though. This system doesn't have a xorg.conf everything is hashed out Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology.
