The "Screen Saver" fields look normal:
prefer blanking: yes
allow exposures: yes
timeout: 600
cycle: 600

The problem is that it blanks the screen (or puts up the X logo) after 
the timeout value has expired regardless of whether the server has been 
active (mouse or keyboard input) during that time or not.

It also says for DPMS: Display is not capable of DPMS.  The monitor is 
capable; I assume this means that the cg6 framebuffer is not?

I have the 4.0 kernel with wscons, but I am still using the 3.1 
userland.  I will build the 4.0 userland and try the other server.
