If that stops the lockups, then you could try setting each in turn to a non-zero value (minutes). Leave everything at zero except for the one being tested. But these also seem unlikely, as it's a hardware signal from the video board to the monitor. The suggestion of an X screensaver causing the lockup was excellent. Even if you have no screensavers, there are other things that could be triggered, like xlock.

Not sure I understand what you're getting at. By "other things that could be triggered" what do you mean? e.g. xclock obviously gets "triggered" at least once per minute; you're suggesting that event could be causinging an update request while blanked out that is causing trouble?

Other long-term events that happen might be to blame, not related to screen blanking at all. For example, a cron job.
