I've found that I cannot use 'xset s noblank' or the power saver will not work. I use xlockmore, and it works with screen blanking set. What I've done is to set the blank time equal to the suspend time. Note that I manually start xlock from a menu under X. Note also that xlock must be started with the option -enablesaver to allow the powerdown of the monitor.
