Sorry, Brian. I've been stuck on this for ages. Running xset -dpms is so
easy that I hvaen't put much energy into it. But I can find nothing for
Debian, only for Ubuntu, and the above is what I got when I searched for
".xinitrc deprecated in debian"
I can find nothing other than writing an xorg.conf, and therein lies a
minefield.
