on the mach64 and other servers, you can enable the power-saver option.
This will use the VESA power signaling to turn off your display after N
minutes.  This works from the xlogin screen too so it's a universally
handy option.

I think there is a script that starts every time the x server is
restarted, .Xinit or something.  That may be a good target to add
xscreensaver.
