Sorry, KDE user here, can't help you ;)


I'll install KDE and lose GNOME if there's a fix.

What does the Gnome control panel say about screensavers or monitor power saving?

All I can find is a checkbox for "make screensaver aware of power management" or something similar. I've let the system run overnight with it both checked and unchecked, and noticed no difference.

Is there a fix in KDE? I'd like a good excuse to lose Gnome. :)

Disable the screensaver in xscreensaver?

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

The powersave thing is not part of the DE, its part of X, try opening a terminal and running "xset -dpms" that should fix the monitor turning off

... or try running 'xscreensaver-demo' (no quotes) and make sure everything's off
