Screen dims when it is not supposed to

Bug Description

My screen dims every 5-10 minutes. It is supposed to never dim.

In System->Preferences->Power Management I've checked and unchecked the "Dim display when idle" box in both tabs multiple times. I also have checked them and restarted, and then unchecked them. Didn't help.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 on a Sony Vaio VGN FE-880E.

Please ask for any information that would help.

From lspci:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Ok, I feel stupid. Someone on the forums just reminded me to check the the screensaver settings. That was where my problem was. I had it set to regard the computer as idle after ten minutes, which was why it was blanking.
