Hi!

I am having a minor problem with the kde screen saver.

After about 7 minutes the monitor will blank out even though
I have the monitor power control turned off (contorl center --> peripherals ---> Display.....).
I noticed that with this turned off, the kpowersave program is still running.
I have tried turning power control on and setting to an hour or so before allowing
it to blank the monitor off, but it still does it in about 7 minutes.

This is a home system using an ABIT KT7A-RAID mother board
with an ATI 9200 SE vidio card, and an A70F ViewSonic monitor (analog only).

I have played with some of the bois settings, but it does not seem to make
andy difference. The manual says that ACPI is always available on this
mother board.

How do I get the power control to either be turned off completely on the honor
the settings (1hour lets say) that I set up in it?
