Many thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try, although I'm not very much inclined to the build driver solution.
Just in case you know, I was using the vesa driver but start not working properly (some issue with the rendenring) so I'm right now using the fbdev driver, but with the switch (from vesa to fbdev) the DPMS stops working, any ideas?
Have you checked with xset if dpms is enabled or if you can enable it if it is not enabled?
Other than that I have no more ideas. It is the weekend now so give it a couple of days and maybe someone else will chime in with more ideas.
Given that your your graphics card is not very popular now I'd say the best you can get is ideas to test and general guidance.
Yes xset q gives [...] DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On I found out that if I disable the console framebuffer from the parameter of grub.cfg # Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep then the DPMS in xorg start working (but is very annoying because I use the console and with something like 80x25 it's become very nasty).
