Created attachment 55721 [details] Global settings Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.95) OS: Linux I have configured the "Performance" profile in System Settings to switch off the monitor after 60 minutes. However, it is switched off after 10 minutes instead. It seems the setting is ignored. I am attaching two screenshots that show exactly how I configured this. Reproducible: Always

Please check other options that can power down the monitor, such as ACPI BIOS and "xset q" in Konsole. Additionally, to make sure the value is indeed ignored, try setting a very short value, such as 1 minute, to confirm.

KDE seems to ignore X.Org defauls (there's no xorg.conf on my system).
I can confirm this happens here, too. kde 4.5.95, Arch linux 64bit.
I tried setting the KDE settings to 1 minute for Dim Display and 2 minutes for Screen Energy Saving, but nothing happens; KDE power saving settings don't work at all here.
this happens too in Fedora 14 i686 with kde 4.5.95 the monitor power off is at 18 minutes and screen saver at 15 minutes but xset -q shows: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On so the result is monitor goes off at 10 minutes in kde 4.5.95 this is somewhat a regresssion from kde 4.5, in it kde can manage the three settings just fine in kde 4.5.5 xset -q : DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 960 Suspend: 1080 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is in Suspend
SVN commit 1214660 by dafre: BUG: 262486 The DPMS timeouts are in seconds, not milliseconds. This fix unfortunately requires editing configuration, luckily we haven't released yet. Users will probably want to edit screen turnoff time manually or start back from a new profile set.
