Created attachment 842927 [details] config file Description of problem: Although DPMS is supported by both of my monitors, screensaver refuses to turn them off when blanking. It seems that screensaver does not recognize that powermanagement is supported. In config dialog, under Advanced -> Display Power Management, the Power Management Enabled is not grayed out. But if I toggle it on, it will be turned off again on next launch. Nevertheless the "Quick Power-off in Blank Only Mode" options is always on without any effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-base-5.26-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: ALWAYS Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure xscreensaver to "Blank Screen Only" with some timeout and "Quick Power-off" 2. lock the screen or wait until it's locked after idle timeout Actual results: Monitors are blanked. Expected results: Monitors are turned off. Additional info: The same happens with only one of them active (laptop or external monitor) -- enabled/disabled with xrandr.

Would you choose any non-zero value for "Off After ... minutes", then toggle in both "Power Management Enabled" and "Quick Power-off in Blank Only Mode", and try again?
It works! Setting the value to anything positive does the trick .. Thanks Mamoru. I should have tried it myself. It just did not occur to me. I'm closing it.
While I am now waiting for upstream's reply, reading the code I think this behavoir is not intended. I will change xscreensaver's behavior so that xscreensaver accepts quick-off mode even when DPMS power-off timeout is set to 0.
That would definitely make sense. Big thanks!
