This is what I found: The screen was blanking even outside of X, i.e. at a console command prompt! The solution for me was boot without the Frame Buffer, i.e. append VGA=NORMAL, instead of VGA=0x317 to the end of the bootstrap line. The boot screen makes this very simple. All screen blanking then stopped. I then had an issue that I couldn't set the screen resolution to anything more than 1024x768. This turned out to be the default Nouveau drivers so I switched to the real nVidia drivers and then I got what you describe. KDE appears to start ok but then goes bad when it gets going. The fix for this was to disable all 3D effects, which seemed to be on by default, in the KDE control panel. I have to change my xorg.conf to run a very basic setup before I could achieve this the display was so bad! I didn't try swapping to XRender or whatever the options are. I now have a very stable graphics setup but no 3D effects. I have to say that I have none of these issues in Mandriva nor Ubuntu. (In reply to comment #1)
The display blanking does not occur on initial KDM login screen after a reboot. It starts in the early startup of the first KDE session. Then it persists after leaving KDE even if no Xorg is running (i.e in text console).
