Same occurs using the vesa driver - automatically start screensaver
and
it is always there; start it manually or just let dpms kick in and the
screen blanks.
I also see a problem with F9's DPMS being unreliable under gnome and
the Radeon Xorg driver. I don't use one of the chew-up-your-cpu
screen savers (I just have a blank screen). Sometimes when I come
back after *hours* the screen is still on and displaying my desktop.
I've learned to just hit the manual screen saver button on the lower
right-hand side of my Samsung LCD.
