+It's not a matter of doing xset +dpms, it's generally enabled by default.  It's a matter of how it's 
+configured.  It has three numbers for different levels of powerdown, usually you'll see three 
+numbers in the GUI configurators too.  So "xset dpms 0 0 0" would have fixed your problem too.  So 
+the question is what is setting your settings to something crazy and why.  I usually set mine to 
+xset dpms 0 0 1200 which turns the monitor off after 20 minutes of inactivity.
