No what you need to do is disable blanking in the Xserver. As I explained before the command is "xset s off". If you want this to be persistant edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common and append something like this:

It looks like I didn't communicate my problem effectively.
I did a clean install of FC5 (32-bit) on my Dell 8500 laptop.
When I go to System->Preferences->Screensaver under Gnome,
the interface is decidedly different than that of FC4. For example,
the checkboxes where individual screensavers can be selected are
missing. I *think* what I need is to be able to do is deselect the one that
represents a blank screen, or there is something in power management
that is causing the display to blank after a while; perhaps 10 minutes.
Any insight will be much appreciated. I realize that this is a trivial
matter in the big picture, but I would like to have things working in
FC5 that worked in FC4.
