xset -dpms

Make sure you have any power management stuff disabled
in your BIOS.

Unfortunately, there are many variables here....

Also check the kde setup. There is a "timer" in there which also kicks
in after a short time. Ie, it is not just the screensaver you have to
worry about but also kde.

What happens when you hit a key. Does it pop back up?

Yes, it does, a key press brings back the monitor. Dpms was disabled. In
bios no power management is mentioned.

Try
K->Configuration->KDE->LookNFeel->Screensaver
and see what the timeout there is.
Also check what it brings up (it may well be set for blank screen, to save
power on a laptop)

(NOte that path of menu items above is on Mandrake and it may be
different on Redhat. Anyway, you want to look into the KDE
configuration)
