[ltp] X20, anyone?

[Douglas Bridges]

I was having the problem of my computer locking up hard when it was left
alone, and I found out that the screen blanking of X was causing the
problem. Of course, I am running a A20m, so I am not sure if you are having
the same problems, but I would look into that.
