Hey, this worked... except that I had to remove the dpms line completely.
Whenever there is a dpms line in my xorg.conf it prevents the screensaver
from starting at all.

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf add
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"
Option "dpms" "false"
EndSection
Restart X11.
Did turn off that annoying follow-up, no point in posting in the relevant
newsgroups if only one is allowed to see the replies, you will be acting like
a multi-poster.
