      WHen I enable the screensaver on my ES screen, all it does is dim the screen.

      I would like the screensaver to either put up a totally black screen, or turn the display off (if that's possible).

      How do I configure this?

      Thanks!

        There's no GUI configuration at the moment, but you can use the scripting features in Emulationstation and run a script on sleep/wake to turn off/on the display - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#scripting.
