I like this way:
Option "SuspendTime" "time"
sets the inactivity timeout for the "suspend" phase of
DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be
changed at run-time with xset(1) . Default: 30
minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS
compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all
video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that
have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section
below).
Option "OffTime" "time"
sets the inactivity timeout for the "off" phase of
DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be
changed at run-time with xset(1) . Default: 40
minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS
compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all
video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that
have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section
below).
basically -
add
Option "BlankTime" "15"
Option "StandbyTime" "45"
under the
"ServerFlags" sections of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
this is the "right" way and it will be in effect for
all X-sessions. I got it from
http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/XF86Config.5.html
