I'm running Ubu 7.10 on an IBM ThinkCentre.* When the screensaver has been running for about 15 minutes it then becomes a black screen.* Does anyone know the reason for this?

Isn't it in the settings? I think you can decide how long you want the screen saver to show then the screen goes black and wake up if you touch your mouse or keyboard.

It's switching the screen off.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that you have to push the button to turn your screen back on? Do you need to restart your computer?

I can select how long the computer remains idle before the screensaver begins but I havent seen anything allowing how long the ss will be on.* To return to the screen only takes a button or a mouse move. The screensaver type can be selected as well and it is not blank.

Power Management is set so that neither the computer nor the display in 'never' put to sleep.* So it must be something else.*

It may be the monitor itself, try commenting the DPMS line in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.
