setterm affects only the console. My ~/.xsession has the
following command:
"` xset dpms 1800 2400 3600 "'
which blanks the screen at 30 minutes, goes into power-save mode
at 40 minutes, and "off" at 60 minutes. I use such a long time so it
doesn't blank out when I'm moving back
and forth between the computer and the kitchen.
There are also some options in XF86Config you can try. See "man 5
XF86Config-v3" or "man 5 XF86Config". You have to put in a "power_saver"
option; then set the BlankTime,
StandbyTime, SuspendTime, and OffTime in the Screen section.
These are overridden by xset.

You're on the right track but in the wrong lane. The setterm
command only affects the (virtual) terminal settings. You want the xset
command.
Try the command:
xset s off
... from any xterm. Then start your moving, kick back, and watch
the show.
