I have been wondering for weeks whether S.u.S.E. or Linux in general has energy saving features like a feature to shutdown the monitor when not in use. I know that the monitor shuts down if I leave the system set without input at the Linux command prompt. It doesn't do this while running the KDE. I really wanted to read up on this before I asked this list, but I haven't found anything jumping out at me. Perhaps this is something that is handled by firmware below the OS level. Any thoughts?
