New description:

 An idle terminal or X server, where it would normally blank, instead
 corrupts the display colourmap; on unit 39 the white becomes yellow.
 Cleared by keyboard or touchpad activity.

 Can be forced with either of:
 {{{
 xset s activate
 xset dpms force off
 setterm -blank force
 }}}

 Can be prevented:
 {{{
 xset s 0 0
 setterm -blank 0
 }}}

Comment(by Quozl):

 Reproduced on os19.  But xo1.75.conf contains DPMS off.  It's not DPMS,
 it's the X screen saver screen blanking.
