[ltp] USB mouse and screen blanking

Hey folks --

I just started using a USB mouse and it appears that moving the mouse 
around does not cause the (BIOS) screen blank timer to be reset.  So if 
I'm mousing around for a while, the screen will just turn off on me.  Is 
there anything I can do about this besides disable screen blanking?

cheers,
