I like this way: Option "SuspendTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the "suspend" phase of DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1) . Default: 30 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below). Option "OffTime" "time" sets the inactivity timeout for the "off" phase of DPMS mode. time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1) . Default: 40 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers. It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below). basically - add Option "BlankTime" "15" Option "StandbyTime" "45" under the "ServerFlags" sections of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 this is the "right" way and it will be in effect for all X-sessions.
