I use the simple "Blank Screen" setting and leave it up to my monitor to
do the rest, i.e. go to sleep to save power - this is mainly since I
have several computers attached via KVM and all have this screen saving
setting. Another reason for this is that this works and worked ever
since even with my old Risc PC.
No problems ever whatsoever with that screen saver and this one
does make sure that the screen saver is a power saver too.
