It's controlled by software, because it usually works. When I disable all  
the settings I mentioned, the screen usually stays on, except that I have  
seen recently that my display blanks out some times.

Controlled by BIOS or not, those settings I mentioned are all available in  
config files, and they are all set to enabled by default.
