Are you sure ?

grep -i dpms <your logfile>:
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) FIREGL4(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off; RGB/Color Display

grep -i dpms <my logfile>:
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) I810(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off; RGB/Color Display
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) I810(0): DPMS enabled

The first line says that the server supports the extension,
the second that the monitor supports DPMS
the third that I asked for DPMS,
and the fourth that the driver gave me DPMS.

Your logfile doesn't indicate that you asked for DPMS.
To do that, put
        Option "DPMS"
in the Monitor section of your config file 
(the Device section often works too).
