New Arch Linux user running KDE.
My monitors will not turn off due to this KScreen bug. When the monitors attempt to turn off, they immediately turn back on and, because the monitors don’t turn off, the computer never sleeps. Across the net, this bug has been mentioned a few times. Disabling the KScreen2 service does fix the issue but my second monitor’s config is reset every time the computer is rebooted.
Does any one have a work around for this issue?

There is a workaround… But I don’t know how “pretty it is”. You can make a script that listens to the keyboard or the mouse (using evemu for example) and after a period of inactivity it goes xset dpms force off.
It works. It’s not pretty.
