Thanks... Though I gave up on KDE in general. I made the switch to
ubuntu LTS in Jan 2009 and the problem seemed to have remedied itself
for the most part. On the odd occasion when I do get the dpms problem,
I now run
xset dpms force off
to manually turn the screen off. To do this in a perl script so that
hitting enter doesn't trigger the monitor back on instantaneously:
gedit manual_dpms_off
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
sleep 1;
system ("xset dpms force off");
I put a launch button for the script on my task bar and I run it every
time after I play a movie.
