My screen goes black (every 5 or 10 mins) if the computer is idle.
I've turned off acpi in both bios and ubuntu, turnd off compiz. set the screensaver to 2 hours. Power management is set to never turn off screens.
Still the damn screen goes black.

The machine is a acer revo with a nvidia card running the latest beta driver.
Any tricks to get the screen not going into black/standby mode?
My setup is a regular Ubuntu 9.04

changed to xfce (apt-get install xubuntu-desktop)
this solved my problems with both screen getting black and the resolution (1920x1080) is set on boot. (in gnome i had to enter nvidia-settings and change the resolution after login befault it defaulted to 1280x720)
