Barry, btw I noticed a couple other things you might look at... Your xorg.conf only specifies "glx", but that's loaded by default now. You should be able to entirely delete your xorg.conf with no impact to X. (In fact we ship without xorg.conf and recommend you run without one, unless you actually need it for some reason.)
Second, in your dmesg file there's some aufs crashes; I think those may be unrelated to this bug, but look worth further investigation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/836945 Title: Screen always goes blank after 10 minutes Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Even though my screen saver settings say to "Turn off after: 1 hour", my screens always go blank after 10 minutes of inactivity. This is entirely reproducible. I am using the free glx driver with my Radeon HD 4670 card, dual-headed.
