Seems to be the case, and -blank 0 or -powerdown 0 had no effect either.
I'm beginning to think it a issue with xscreensaver. I can set the time
to blank to 0, power down to 0 and such from there then deselect the
power saving opton but it still seems to work. If i set the time to the
max amount i think it is 1440 or something then deselect power saving it
takes that long to blank and power down. I'm going to install a newer
version and see if that does anything.
