I use a different screen saver with my IBM EGA card.  I have the same problem 
when I run Windows.

My "solution" came by accident.  The NUMLOCK key works.

My configuration is DOS 3.3, MS Windows 2.1 (286 runtime with Excel), and
the public domain BURNOUT 2.3 or some such.  Has a settable delay, and blanking
can be forced with left shift-control keys.
