Of course there are many ways to change this behavior (after all this is
linux! :-) And you can prabably have varying degrees of control, but
all I do is add this line:
BlankTime 60
to the "Screen" sections of /etc/XF86Config. What that does is make it
wait 60 minutes of inactivity, then go blank. Be worned, I am on xfree86
version 3.3.6; 4.x is probably different.
