On all three machines where I have been installing the betas, the monitor blanks even if I tell it not to in kcontrol (Peripherals / Display and Desktop / Screensaver) and SAX (DPMS off).
Is this a bug? How do I stop it happening? I can't help feel that it's worse for the monitor to blank and wake up every few minutes if I don't touch it than it is for it to stay on.
I had the same problem. My settings in kcontrol were not followed. Look if you're running the kpowersave applet in your system tray (it's icon is a connector, and it's started by default). Right-click on it and choose "Configure KPowersave". The settings there overwrite the settings of kcontrol. BTW, I think it's a somewhat suboptimal design to have different places for the same settings, especially if the settings on one place overwrite the settings on the other places. Cheers, Andreas
