[TriLUG] Monitor Auto Power Weirdness

[Randall Barlow]

When I'm logged into the system and leave, I have my xorg.conf 
configured to suspend and power off the monitor at 30 and 60 minutes of 
inactivity, and that works great.  However, if I'm not logged in and the 
machine is sitting at the kdm or gdm login screen for 30 minutes or 60 
minutes, it seems like X tries to power off and on the monitor over and 
over again, which doesn't seem like it would be too good for my 
monitor.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  (Gentoo Linux)
