You can try 'xset -q' to see if DPMS is enabled....
If yes you can try change setting with 'xset dpms 1200 65535 65535' to use
only suspend after 20mins and standby and off after 18 hours...(for me is

Or 'xset -dpms' to disable (or you can comment Option "DPMS" from
XF86Config-4)
Hope this can help....cu...;o)
