For some reason, XFree86 v4 defaults to DPMS disabled, check that you have
a line like:
(**) NV(0): DPMS enabled
in your logfile (often /var/log/XFree86.0.log).
If not turn it on; since it is a monitor options I preferr to put
Option "DPMS"
in the "monitor" Section of the config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4)
but it will work if put in some other places.
