To my experience, the monitor powers down regardless of the screen saver (as defined in kpowersave, e.g.), at least with TFT displays. You could consider it a bug that the "blank screen" screensaver does not immediatly power down the display. I would support that view. ;-) > I find it incredible what amount of energy gets wasted that way. The energy waste is in the CPU/GPU still working on the graphics even after the screen has powered off. My guess would be very uneducated, but I don't think that's very substantial.
