What display driver (graphics card) are you using?  Most of the
XF86 drivers for Sun video cards, such as Creator or Elite, do
not implement screen blanking and DPMS, even though the cards can
do them.  I use a home-grown patch (thanks to David Miller) for
the sunffb (Creator/Elite) driver, and there is one for the cg6.

If, on the other hand, this is a windowmaker-specific problem you are
looking at, I'm afraid I don't have any specific information.
