I have checked and turned off every power saving app under KDE3 on my desktop: openSuSE 10,3. I have set up my screen saver and all works well except, somewhere my LCD monitor is being turned off. I only want my screensaver to come on after 5 mins of inactivity. Are there other places besides KDE Control Center that I need to disable? I am not well versed in this.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
For instance:
Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" Option "RandR" "on" # Option "BlankTime" "10" Option "StandbyTime" "20" Option "SuspendTime" "25" Option "OffTime" "30" EndSection

Have you checked your monitor? Some are programmed to turn off after a certain time, or at least to go black. Maybe the problem is not in your computer at all. This may be alterable.

Hi, As much as I hate to admit it, I don't get this behavior with Windows Vista or XP on this same machine. I will check the BIOS as Randall suggested now with a reboot.
