Hello,I have the problem that the screensaver shows a black screen and not the screen which I have selected.
Try another one.
Better yet, use the "black screen" screen saver. It will enable your monitor to power down after a while and not waste energy trying to draw graphics that nobody (except maybe your office neighbours) ever gets to see.
To my experience, the monitor powers down regardless of the screen saver (as defined in kpowersave, e.g.), at least with TFT displays. You could consider it a bug that the "blank screen" screensaver does not immediatly power down the display. I would support that view. ;-)
I find it incredible what amount of energy gets wasted that way.
The energy waste is in the CPU/GPU still working on the graphics even after the screen has powered off. My guess would be very uneducated, but I don't think that's very substantial.
