Random Screen Blank on startup all the Time.

[Christopher Stone]

Yes, it will turn off my montor even when I'm actively using it.  It's
possible that it's a screensaver or ACPI bug, it would be worth a try
to disable all ACPI and screensaver settings and see if that fixes it
for you.  As for me, this behavior stops happening after 3-4 monitor
shutdowns.
