[H-GEN] laptop screen blanking in linux

I have a laptop that blanks my screen every 5 or 10 minutes of no keyboard
or mouse activity.  That's ok, I guess, but it ignores the movements of my
*external* mouse and therefore I get unwanted blanking quite often.

Anyone know how to turn off the screen blanking altogether, or get it to
recognise my external mouse as "activity"?

Thanks,

Trent
