Good evening, Nigel.

Yes, that did the trick for FC5, thanks.  One down and one to go.  :-)

On F7 there is no Options DPMS line in xorg.conf, so nothing to comment out.

<NH>>>>>Commenting out that line in FC6 did not work, and  neither in 
Debian Lenny after some X updates. I use KDE, and have put a simple script 
in ~/.kde/autostart on Debian Lenny. This runs xset -dpms, which disables 
DPMS when you login, see below.<<<<<

Do I just put a script in there and name it anything I want, or do I need 
to give it a specific name?

I put one in there for F7 called noblank, made it executable by everybody, 
so I'll see what happens.
