Is a screensaver on by default?  My Toshiba Tecra 530CDT screen goes blank after about 10-15 min and won't come back when I press keys or move the mouse.  Otherwise things are fine, and if I keep using it it's okay.  I can press ctl-alt-backspace and get back to the command line, which shows up fine, and run startx and I'm back in business - but of course my X programs have all died when I get back into X.  

I'm guessing there might be a screensaver enabled by default, that I need to get rid of?   Any troubleshooting tips?

xset -s off

Try adding that to the beginning of /home/dsl/.xinitrc

xset s off (not -s) seems to work, thanks!

I often forget when to use - or -- or nothing, as there is little consistency between applications.
Thanks for the correction =o)
