Thanks Alan. To my knowledge, Ubuntu actually has _never_ had a UI to control this--screen blanking has always been disabled before. The UI only allows the user to configure the time period for powering off the display. Now it seems that screen blanking is mysteriously enabled on some machines in 12.10.

Other than with xorg.conf or xset, how might the distro be disabling this? I wasn't able to find any override anywhere. I am guessing that the override is not working in some corner case.
