Screen Saver is preventing screen shut off

[Karen]

My computer screen will not turn off if the screen saver on. I have the
screen saver set to come on after 15 minutes and screen to turn off after 30
mins. The screen saver comes on fine but when it is time for the screen to
turn off the screen goes black and then comes right back on. If I turn the
screen saver off then the screen will turn off no problem. Is there any way I
can get the screen to go off when the screen saver is on? I have a Dell
Inspiron 1520 if that helps.

Eschew the use of a screen saver and instead use power saving settings to
turn the screen off when unused. This is both more ecologically friendly
and simpler to maintain.
