I've implemented support for dpms=false/dpms=true in rootskel-gtk: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/rootskel-gtk.git;a=commitdiff;h=ac4176a5a857b8f1ac7de82a479c7723908bea14 For more info about it, see Xserver(1): | dpms enables DPMS (display power management services), where sup‐ | ported. The default state is platform and configuration spe‐ | cific. | | -dpms disables DPMS (display power management services). The default | state is platform and configuration specific. It appears that doesn't prevent blanking in kvm when dpms=false is passed on the kernel command line, but the same setting seems to work fine in virtualbox. I haven't debugged that any further (besides noting that DPMS was indeed not enabled in both cases according to Xorg.0.log). It would probably be nice to check that this name doesn't conflict with any kernel-side parameters, and whether that's an appropriate name at all. Comments are welcome. Mraw, KiBi.
