Yes this seems actually very useful,
i had dpms inactive, but ScreenSaver blanking on.
Maybe someone knows what the difference between these two is all about.
It looks totally equal from the "outside" ;-)
Now that I activated dpms, there is this line indicating the state.
xset q | awk '{if (match($0,"Monitor is On")) {print "notblanked"}}'
I am going to use this little check for my script.
Thank you for your help!
