I have this problem too.  I have an NVidia TNT2 and a sceptre dragoneyes D98A
monitor.
xset +dpms
xset dpms force (off|standby|suspend)
all fail to do anything.

It worked with RH 6.2  Perhaps this is an X 4.0 bug?

this looks to be the same bug as bug #20804

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2000-11-17 20:56:38 UTC
I fixed this by putting the line:
Option "DPMS"
in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file in the Monitor section.  I have heard that if
that doesn't work, try putting
Option "power_save"

The guys on the X newbie list rule!

Hope that works for you!

Powerdown works for me here.
