[Bug 70991] Disabling energy saving of monitor; changes the normal screensaver to a e.g. blank screen or a screen with an X

[jeroen69]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kscreensaver

Using KDE 3.5.5 on Kubuntu Edgy:

How to reproduce:

1. Make sure in your kcontrol > 'display settings'; the energy saving is enabled.
2. Go to kcontrol > screensavers; enable e.g. the clock and set it to automatically and 1 minute. 
3. Wait 1 min and the clock should come up.
4. Go to kcontrol > 'display settings'; disable energy savings, the time for e.g. your monitor should grey out.
5. Wait 1 minute and the you will see the bug. The screen turns blank or shows a white X on a black background. I have two PC's; one gave the blank screen, the second one the X.
6. After this has happened you can enable the energy saving option again and you will notice that the screensaver works again.
