   No, monitor power down is supported by X11 itself.  You don't need   
   xscreensaver for a power down state.   
      
   Look at the DPMS options for the 'xset' command.  Of course, your   
   monitor needs to recognize and perform the right thing when X tells it   
   to power down.  Most monitors do, but YMMV depending on exactly what   
   you have.
