Um, no, not an ATi problem that I'm aware of.
I have a problem with the system not turning off my monitor when using a
screen saver (doesn't go dark, simply doesn't turn off). I'm using an ATi
card and if I disable the screen saver the monitor turns off just as it
should. Tested this on 3 different systems.
Make sure your monitor isn't listed as "Generic PnP Monitor" in Device
Manager. I've run into problems with black screens/still on monitors when
trying to get all flavors of Windows to shut down a monitor and 99% of the
time this is the case.
