This is bit hard on this issue. Display does not go to power save and pub is in inter-operation between Gnome and driver.

Can you please attach a bug report log? It's not clear just from this report whether GNOME is actually requesting that the monitor power off. Does the monitor turn off if you trigger it manually with sleep 5; xset dpms force off?

It's also possible that your mouse is jittering and resetting the screen timer. You can use xinput to list the available input devices and then xinput test '<device name>' to watch for events from your mouse.

The current driver only occasionally bugs this way 1-2 times a month.
