Steve,
Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the "Monitor" section, and make sure
the dpms option is set. Here is the snippet from my config:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor 1600x1200"
HorizSync 31.5 - 94.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
after you set it, it should be enough to logout and log back in, but
if not, you need to restart gdm after you logged out: go to a virtual
console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), login as root, then:
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
