I've seen this as well, but only *before* I log into KDE. If I boot the machine into X and leave it at the kdm login window, it will black the screen after a while (no idea how long as I usually login promptly). Once in KDE my screensaver kicks off after 10 minutes of idleness as it should; there is no black screen. Jon
