This is also why I hate screensavers, why have the computer display some fancy image after 20 mins of inactivity when it is just as easy to tell the monitor to shut down.

Now if only I could persuade Linux to tell the monitor to shut down. Is there a guide to power management and how to make it work? I've fiddled around in KDE, changed BIOS settings etc but all I get is a nearly-black screen which the monitor ignores.
