	[x] Attachment Details

screen goes blank after 2 minutes - xset overide on startup?

Zone: Linux

Tags: ubuntu, dapper

I recently switched from kde to gnome on my kubuntu dapper box.

(KDE desktop went south)

Monitor goes blank two minutes after screensaver kicks in.

I checked xorg.conf, glslideshow.desktop and xset and could not find anything wrong.

code from all three attached..

Something is overiding xset on startup, but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for your help

Ken
