Are there any DPMS options set in your xorg.conf ? What is your
video card/monitor and what driver are you using in X ?

Another thing to check is see if DPMS is enabled as an extension
by your setup:

xdpyinfo |grep DPMS

should return "DPMS"

I have to explicitly set my monitor power saving to off on my laptop
otherwise the screen has a high likelyhood of not coming back on after
turning off. Toshiba says it's a known behavioral issue with multi
core laptops. Happened under XP as well. Yay for screen burn in.
