Gil, I had the same problem when I first installed 7.1, and it drove me
insane! There's a little simple trick to make the settings stick - I'll
have to get back to you with the precise instructions as I'm not in Linux
at the moment, but if you go to the DPMS configuration screen, and click on
the help button, it'll bring up a local HTML page (if you installed the
help manuals) that explains it in detail. But in brief, you have to make a
desktop shortcut to DPMS and stick it in your Startup folder, and then
reboot. Ever since I did that it's worked perfectly!
