Since updating to 4.5.85 my monitor goes off after 10 minutes of

powerdevil and it still goes of after 10 minutes, I even tried setting the
timeout to 1 minute but the monitor still goes off after 10 minutes.
It seems something else is turning off the monitor, and powerdevil is
having no effect.
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.
