I tried in both the grub GUI and /boot/grub/grub.conf. In neither case 
did the screen blank after five minutes  as it is set to do.

    title Omega 12.1 Fedora Remix (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64)
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 ro
    root=/dev/mapper/vg_box6-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us --nomodeset

This was a new install of F-12 from the Omega-live on usb flash drive so 
there should be no artifacts of the last Fedora version.
