Black Screen Desktop


I am completely new to GNOME and just setup a Fedora Core 5 box. I also
setup VNC Viewer so I could access the desktop from my workstation.
After I've been logged into the box for a while it seems there must be a
setting somewhere to place the pc into 'hibernate' or something and I
can't figure out where that is or how for that not to happen. It
appears the machine is on--I can ssh to it--but when I VNC to it it's
just a black screen and when I go over to it--same thing. It's like the
desktop turns off after idle for maybe an hr or 2 and I can't wake it
back up. Therefore I have to restart the server. I'm wondering if
there is a certain parameter for initializing the gnome session? I have
checked all the power management to 'never' and when idle do nothing but
I don't know where else to look. Therefore I'm not sure if this is a
bug or a missing setting on my part. I'd appreciate any hints on where
to look or what to files/commands that might help me.
