Here's what I use:
#!/bin/sh
# Turn on power-saving on the VC's
test -f /usr/bin/setterm || exit 0
case "$1" in
start) echo -n "Turning power-saving on for VC's."
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6
do
setterm -powersave < /dev/tty$i
done
echo "."
;;
stop) echo -n "Nothing to do to turn power-saving for VC's off."
;;
*) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/powersave start|stop"; exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
(I never want to turn this off so stop doesn't do anything useful.)

I put the following in the Device section of my XF86Config:
Option "power_saver"
