I use a standard Czech keyboard (set in TDE), and AltGr I use very often. It's 
been a long time since my xorg as follows:

Section "ServerFlags"
        BlankTime       1
        StandbyTime     5
        SuspendTime     8
        OffTime         10
EndSection

Nothing more, nothing less == I set that after logout, the screen went into 
sleep mode faster.
