And, see what "xset q" has to say about whether DPMS is currently
enabled or not. I've noticed that mplayer disables DPMS on entry,
but neglects to re-enable it on termination.
Answering both suggestions:
[dave@bend ~]# xdpyinfo |grep DPMS
DPMS
[dave@bend ~]# xset q

These appear to be the same as another CentOS 5 box (but 32 bit) that
correctly shuts down the monitor. xorg.conf looks like:
[dave@bend ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and the video card is (this is a single card that shows up twice in lspci):

When I know I'm going to be away from the system for "a while" I use the
KVM to point to a vacant port. The monitor detects no signal and powers
down but I have to remember to do this and I can't always predict how
long I'll be away from the monitor. This is a traditional CRT
(ViewSonic G220fb) so I'd rather no enrich the power company by
supplying power to it for a black screen.
Cheers,
Dave
