Just as a datapoint, I'm using
/usr/bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and in my /etc/X11/XF86Config (XFree86 3.3.2, SVGA Server), I have:
Option "power_saver"
in the "Device" section, and
BlankTime 0
StandbyTime 15
OffTime 20
in the "Screen" section, and it will blank OK in both X and the
console.
