Comment 77 for bug 30969

I have this problem too.
Someone (on ubuntu forum) suggested adding [xset s off] (to /sys/prefs/startup) which has stopped the monitor power-down, but g-s-s still doesn't enable the screensaver.
g-p-m appears to be running.

- Atom230 (Intel D945GCLF) 1GB, WD1600BEVSRTL (160GB 2.5"), atheros 5k compatible wireless PCI card), HP DVD-RAM.
- Only variant is that monitor is attached through a KVM switch. No problems with Keyboard and Mouse...

This was a clean install with all hardware attached at startup.
Still wondering what causes this... can't be so difficult to reproduce?
