I notice that CentOS 5 only blanks out my screen, but doesn't set it to powersaving mode (the power LED stays blue instead of going yellow). I think I saw this on CentOS 4 as well, but I had a CentOS 4 console machine only for a short time back then and after that only remotely used ones. Now I have one fully running workstation with X under CentOS 5 and would like to fix that. This also happens in run-level 3, so it's not specific to the X-Server or desktop manager.
