Timo: Prevent what from happening? You said earlier, "The bug is in g-p-m which blanks the screen even though the screensaver is disabled." But now you're saying the source of this is somewhere else.

KDE has a "Power saving" tab in the Monitor & Display settings. Even though it claims power saving is disabled, and even though I have all screen savers disabled, my screen keeps going blank. What is KDE supposed to be preventing that it's not preventing?

What exactly is the problem here? Are both the KDE and Gnome apps broken? Why can't they tell that DPMS is enabled? Why are they unable to disable it or configure it? If the applications for controlling DPMS are broken, shouldn't DPMS be disabled by default?
