Hi Ot,
I don't know if this is what you are looking for but if you look at the
KDE control Center under the desktop icon, there is a section called
DPMS. I am not sure if it is what you are looking for, but you can
enable that and it has standby, suspend, off time and a slider to choose
the time, and a test button for each.
Hope that helps,
Bambi
