To determine your XFree86 version run:
    xdpyinfo | grep version

What does
    xset -q | egrep -i dpms\|stand
tell?

You may also need 
    xset +dpms

I have XFree86 4.2.0. But Dpms doesn't seem to work on my
configuration either.

The saver= in the rc.conf affects the console but not X-Windows.
