Indeed that seems to be what's happening. The question is how to make
the monitor enter power save mode in the default setup. It happens
"for free" when using the experimental GL driver, but that does not
work well enough for regular use. However, it does prove (?) that the
hardware (cable and monitor) are capable of executing the desired action.

It seems to be a configuration issue, but I've pushed the buttons I
know about and am hoping somebody knows of more.

Thanks for reading!
