This just means it's in the base repository - the base repository contains
all the rpms from the 4.1 CD/DVD (while the updates repository are the
security and bug fixes, and other repositories like centosplus contain
addons and extras etc). The fact that it's base has nothing to do with
installtime base (everything from installtime is within the base
repository).

My guess is either the monitor or the video card is broken/buggy (possibly
also the X drivers for the graphics card...) - maybe a badly connected
(or broken) monitor cable as well.
Does "xset dpms force off" turn off the screen?
