try xset's dpms option. from its man page...
...
-dpms The -dpms option disables DPMS (Energy Star) fea-
tures.
+dpms The +dpms option enables DPMS (Energy Star) fea-
tures.
dpms flags...
The dpms option allows the DPMS (Energy Star)
parameters to be set. The option can take up to
three numerical values, or the `force' flag fol-
lowed by a DPMS state. The `force' flags forces
the server to immediately switch to the DPMS state
specified. The DPMS state can be one of
`standby', `suspend', or `off'. When numerical
values are given, they set the inactivity period
(in units of seconds) before the three modes are
activated. The first value given is for the
`standby' mode, the second is for the `suspend'
mode, and the third is for the `off' mode. Set-
ting these values implicitly enables the DPMS fea-
tures. A value of zero disables a particular
mode.
...so...
xset dpms 900 1200 0
...should set standby time of 900 seconds, suspend 1200, and turns
off "off" feature.
