(Answer) (Category) Linux on PowerPC FAQ-O-Matic : (Category) X Windows :
I have an energy-star compliant monitor and I keep doing "xset dpms force off" but nothihng happens! What gives?
You must tell X that your monitor is DPMS-compliant in the config file by adding 'option "dpms"' in your Monitor Section.
For example, if your monitor is an Acer Aspire 55s, you might want to use:
Section "Monitor" 
    Identifier  "acer aspire 55s"
    HorizSync   30-54
    VertRefresh 50-110
    option "dpms"
EndSection
