Maybe I'm not understainding what you guys want, but 'Option "power_saver"' in the device section for the video board in XF86Config for XFree86 3.3.6 (don't know about 4.x) activates some built-in defaults for every user (if the X server supports it. The SVGA server does, at least for all boards I ever used). I didn't know xset +dpms would work without "power_saver", though. man XF86Config and a search for power_saver will tell you more. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
