It doesn't make sense to me.  I don't want different settings for vt1,
vt2 or vt7.  I also don't want to go fix each and every of those.

However, I could maybe live with 1 for console and 1 for X.  The
screensaver in X doesn't go and turn off or blank my screen when I'm on
the console.  But when I switch back to X, the screensaver is on.  (It
won't turn off the screen at that time, afaik.)

I guess I'm using the same, or now a newer version of those.
