Have you tried leaving the screen alone for about 10 minutes? Screen blanking is the default linux kernel behavior since almost the beginning. I think the time is 10 minutes of inactivity.
If you're not seeing the screen go blank, you may have a jittery mouse that is preventing it from activating.

Hey guys,
I've done a ton of googling, searching and asking in the forums, etc, and I haven't found a way to do this... :)
I'm trying to find a way of having some type of screen saver at the login screen so that if I leave a machine not logged into, it won't burn-in the screen.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? In specific, I'd love to have it simply blank the screen and leave the screen on, just black after maybe 5 minutes of inactivity at the login screen. :)
Thanks in advance, it's really appreciated! :)
Dave
