Use the xset program to control DPMS at runtime:

$ xset
...
    To control Energy Star (DPMS) features:
        -dpms      Energy Star features off
        +dpms      Energy Star features on
         dpms [standby [suspend [off]]]     
              force standby 
              force suspend 
              force off 
              (also implicitly enables DPMS features) 
              a timeout value of zero disables the mode 
...
