This should be in your KDE setup or GNOME setup... I don't think
XFree deals with this at all. Ie. in GNOME, go to your control
center and select screensaver. The power management options are
there.

Energy consumption being the big one, if you have a screen saver it's
no big deal to leave the monitor on. Since I'm in an upstairs room
with no air conditioning, leaving monitors on tends to heat up the
room after a while, so I have a screensaver kick in after 5 mins, and
then 5 mins after that it turns the monitor off.
