I don't suppose anyone knows how to turn off the standby mode thingy in linux (heh, I'm well up to speed on my terminology aren't I?). It is damned annoying having the monitor turn itself off after 15 minutes or so of being unattended :-) Especially when watching the pretty visuals from various XMMS plugins.
I've checked all the places I could think of, but can't find hide nor hair of it.
I presume that you've switched APM on in the kernel? or not?
I had a similar problem and it eventually turned out to be a BIOS option I'd overlooked, have you checked you BIOS power management setups?
