NetBSD Trurl 6.1.3 NetBSD 6.1.3 (MYKERNEL) #0: Sat Feb  8 16:18:14 CET 2014  root@Trurl:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MYKERNEL i386
>Description:
When the machine is left idle for about 2-3 hours, the screen gets blank - I understand, that some kind of screen-saver has been activated - but there's no way to get the screen contents back; it remains blank, and pressing keys won't help. Fortunately, the system can be shut down - for example, by power button - but it takes a system reload to allow normal work again.
I'm using old BX-based motherboard with Radeon 9200 AGP graphics adaptor.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Boot the system.
2. Leave the machine idle until the screen gets blank.
3. Try pressing any key; it won't help.

 Are you using X or do you talk about the text console?
 If the latter, did you configure any screen saver?
