I don't know if it's related, but I remember I used to have a problem like
this with one of Loki Game's ports that was played with the mouse only.
After a while the monitor would go into power-saving mode. I think I
submitted a bug report for this, but that it was never decided if it was
an SDL bug or an XFree86 bug.

I eventually got around it by setting an environment variable - I think it
was SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE, but I'm not at my Linux box at the moment so I
can't check - to 0. I'm not sure exactly what the effect of this is, but
I've been using it ever since without any ill effects.
