I have seen something similar in KDE 4.4. I had to use xset to change parameters for dpms and s. Just run 'xset q' and see if screensaver timeout or DPMS Standby is set to 600. Personally i have this in one of my startup- scripts: xset dpms 3600 3600 3600 xset s 3600 3600 You might like other values though. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
