I have problem with nvidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card on Suse 9.1 64bit. When some specific output should be displayed (mostly scrolling in xterm/Mozilla etc.), display is switched to black for 1 second. It's like blank screen saver, but I'm pretty sure that it's not misconfigured screen saver :-)
I have tried both 1.0-5332 and 1.0.6106 drivers, I have tried Option "AGPMode" "4" or Option "NvAgp" "1", but nothing has changed. The problem is both with kernels 2.6.5-7.75 and 2.6.5-7.95.
I've seen this problem. The method I used to fix it was to shut off all of KDE's built in screen / power save functions and use pure xscreensaver. Not had a lick of video related weirdness since. I've also seen one other less drastic resolution, there is a selection box in the Control Center---> Appearance & Themes ----> Screen Saver called "Make the screen saver aware of power management", make sure this checkbox is not enabled.
