What monitor do you have?
What video card?
Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here?
Need some more info to be able to help you out.

Almost forgot - its Bea (Linux Mint 2.1 beta 023) that you are testing since Bianca hasn't been released yet and probably won't until Bea goes gold.

It is an Nvidia Tnt2 according to this page:

Try commenting out the DPMS line by putting a # at the beginning of the line like this.
#Option "DPMS"
DPMS handles power management and your system might not play nice with it.
to edit the file, do the following in a terminal window:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Save the file after you make the change and then logout. At the login screen, press CTRL-ALT-BKSPC to restart X.
Let me know if that works.
Some hardware combinations have quirks like this.

No problem. Just be sure to post back your results. If it works, you can do the same for any distro you run.

Not a problem. Now you just have to remember to turn your monitor off when you walk away from the PC if you want to save power.
