I don't think that 'xset dpms off' does anything, at least not in my
experience. Our script to disable screen blanking says this (I wrote
the comments, but can't remember what experiments I did):
if [ ${_blank:-0} -eq 0 ]; then
# Turn off screen blanking.
# This should all fit on one line, but doesn't work that way
/usr/openwin/bin/xset -dpms
/usr/openwin/bin/xset s off
else
# Set screen blanking to the timeout given.
# "standby", "suspend" and "off" all seem to do the same thing
# with a Sun Ray 2 DTU, so just worry about the standby value.
/usr/openwin/bin/xset dpms ${_blank}
/usr/openwin/bin/xset s off
fi
Hope that's useful.
