Generally, I can confirm this. You cannot even start the screensaver via screen
corner actions. However, locking the screen .
But, even if I disable powersave in KDE, after about 10 minutes the screen gets
blanked[1], though. This happens despite there is no kscreensaver or
xscreensaver process running/started[2] and DPMS is turned off completely
within the X server[3]. Furthermore, kpowersave was never started in the X
session and is not running, too. Same effect occurs if I start and use
kpowersave instead of KDE to disable DPMS.
Thus, it is not possible to get rid of any screen blanking or DPMS while having
a screensaver activated and working. No screensaver at all results in "image
sticking" of my TFT. Blanking and DPMS yield to frequent and time consuming
wakeups.
[1] That means, the screen simply turns black while the TFT back light is still
turned on.
[2] "while true; do ps x >> processes.lst; sleep 30s; done" did not show
suspect processes when the screen was blanked
[3] Checked with "xset q | grep DPMS"
