Re: could someone please help?

Check to see if DPMS is turned on:

sspencer@sspencer-p670:~$ xdpyinfo | grep DPMS
    DPMS

It returned a result so thats good, dpms is functioning.

Make sure the screen saver is running:

sspencer@sspencer-p670:~$ ps x | grep screensaver
 6076 ? Ss 0:00 gnome-screensaver
 6748 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep screensaver

yay, its running.

Let us know what the results are, including if you have it set to
blank/lock/and after how many minutes.. what screensaver program and
what desktop setup you are using.
