   I have the following in a custom file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/85-dpms.conf :   
      
   -8<-------------------------------------   
   # Turn off monitor at inactivity   
      
   Section "Monitor"   
       Identifier "Monitor0"   
       Option "DPMS" "true"   
   EndSection   
      
   Section "ServerFlags"   
       Option "BlankTime"    "20"   
       Option "StandbyTime"  "30"   
       Option "SuspendTime"  "40"   
       Option "OffTime"      "50"   
   EndSection   
   -8<-------------------------------------   
      
   I think that the above works on most systems with most versions of   
   Slackware.   
      
   Initially xscreensaver will show its blank screen or whatever fancy   
   animation it has been configured for, after some delay the monitor will   
   be shut off. The monitor will be shut off after the same delay even if   
   xscreensaver has not been enabled if there is no activity from mouse or   
   keybaord. Those times are in minutes.   
      
   regards Henrik
