Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs After setting timeouts in PowerDevil Configuration -> Screen the DPMS standby/suspend/poweroff doesn't start.
Today I'm upgraded to openSuSE 11.1, the problem still exists.
KDE 4.1.86 (4.2 >= 20081221), Debian experimental + unreleased (deb http://kde42.debian.net/debian/ UNRELEASED main), amd64 Same problem here. System Settings -> Display -> Power Control : when enabled, works well. PowerDevil -> doesn't work at all, display (LCD panel) is still turned on after timeout.
I'll investigate into this
KDE 4.1.87 opensuse, same problem intel x4500hd in a thinkpad if you can't reproduce dario I can supply more data btw, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179235 is duplicate
same problem here archlinux, kdemod-unstable 4.1.87, dell xps m1330 8400gs
*** Bug 179235 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm this also. KDE 4.1.96, OpenSuSE 11.1. Mobility Radeon 9700 using opensource driver. xset dpms force works.
Just as a clarification. I also got System Settings -> Display -> Power Control enabled and that doesn't work either. If you need anymore log files or anything eles to fix this bug, please ask.
After some more testing, i found that what prevents System Settings -> Display -> Power Control from working is the screensaver trying to run right after the screen is blanked. That unblanks the screen. If i disable the screensaver then the screen is blanked correclty. However, even with screensaver disabled, powerdevil still doesn't blank the screen.
Still present in KDE 4.2.0
Has been worked on and fixed in openSUSE 11.1 KDE4.1.3 release: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462854

The dpms usage is the same for global kde settings and powerdevil, it fixes the screensaver undoes blank issue It fixed it for me (at least it is somewhat working now), if it doesn't for you then please add it in a comment

Can't confirm that. xset dpms force works! KDE -> display -> power control works! powerdevil not at all! Didn't work in 4.1.{2,3,4} and it doesn't in KDE 4.2.0. Still same problem. So the dpms usage isn't 100% compatible between display power control and powerdevil.

Confirmed on KDE 4.2, Arch package. Dim screen works, power off doesn't. Using Display power settings _does_ power off the display, but of course this is not profile dependent, so I hope for a fix.
should be solved with the patch for bug #177123
the patch solves the problem, screen turns off now!
Assuming PowerDevil doesn't roll its own DPMS handling, this has been actually fixed recently in kdebase/workspace/krunner/screensaver .

Using Version 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) "release 114" from openSUSE repositories this problem appears again.
Anyone experiencing this in 4.3+?
Using openSUSE 11.2 with KDE - Version 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6" the problem still exists. I can reproduce the error by setting the "Standby after" parameter to 1 min in the "Performance" profile. Set this profile for active Power Profile, after 1 min the screen won't turn off. I've already tried to turn off the DPMS in System Settings > Display > Power Control and the Screen Saver too but doesn't help.
I'm seeing this in KDE 4.4.0 (Gentoo).
Should be fixed in 4.6
I've set the power management performance profile to switch off the screen after an hour, yet xset shows that it is set to 10 minutes. I'm using KDE 4.6 RC2 from the opensuse build service.
That bug has been recently fixed in trunk and will be in KDE 4.6 final.
