I've had this problem going back to KDE 4.0. After maybe five or ten minutes of no activity, KDE sets the monitor to power-save mode. Now I have my Screensaver turned off and I have my Power Management settings set so that it shouldn't turn off the monitor, but it does anyway.
Now my ~/.kde folder is pretty old, and some files may date back to the KDE3.5 series. So I don't know if it's an old KDE3.5 config file that's causing trouble or if it's some other bug. I don't really remember if this happened in KDE3.5 or not.
I also use the official NVIDIA driver, if that makes a difference. I looked in the nvidia-settings and I didn't see any power save options. This happened on my old computer and my new one, so I know it's software related.
I'm asking about it now because I just recently found out that joypad input doesn't count as activity, so my screen kept going out while I was playing a game.
