Many thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try, although I'm not very much

Just in case you know, I was using the vesa driver but start not
working
properly (some issue with the rendenring) so I'm right now using the
fbdev driver, but with the switch (from vesa to fbdev) the DPMS stops
working, any ideas?
Have you checked with xset if dpms is enabled or if you can enable it
if
it is not enabled?

DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600
DPMS is Enabled

I found out that if I disable the console framebuffer from the parameter
of grub.cfg
# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
then the DPMS in xorg start working (but is very annoying because I use
the console and with something like 80x25 it's become very nasty).
