I don't recall which version of Linux you are using, but I have seen
similar problems under some versions of Fedora, including F12, with some
graphics drivers (but not specifically the nVidia proprietary driver).
Some obvious solutions include:
1) setting the "Power Management" not to power down the display ever
2) setting the screensaver not to lock
3) setting the screensaver not to activate
The first one is especially worth a try.
