Default Monitor not shutting off after 15 minutes



Same problem here. My laptop screen goes blank (black but the screen stays
on) after 15 minutes. I have a ATI mobility radeon 9600. It is kind of
annoying because when I am working on battery the laptop is empty very fast.

The screensaver/power saver problem has been resolved in RC1. I have my
screensaver set to start after 5 minutes and the monitor to shut down after
10 minutes. Works as timed and does not restart until I move the mouse

It doesn't seem to be resolved in RC1 because i am running it on my laptop.
The previous version didn't seem to have it. Hope they will offer a solution
for this.

I have the x64 version of RC1, if that makes any difference, and
screensaver/power saver works flawlessly. Of course if you are using anything
other than a Windows included screensaver, there may be compatibility
problems. For instance, my favorite screensaver app is "Electric Sheep" and
won't work with Vista af any build. It starts, stops, freezes and generaly
behaves badly
