Hi Benjamin,
I'm running the latest XFree 4.0. I don't believe that it is
configured to blank the screen, but I will investigate further. I'm
pretty sure it is not the Energy Saver control panel under MacOS
doing it since the screen sometimes blanks while I'm typing (it did
just now in fact).
Cheers,
Bruce.
