   Henrik provided you the full template to use in Message-ID:    
      
   -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<-------------------------------------
