That I haven't checked. I have 2 machines with TDE R14.0.02+ on them, and 
the dpms settings  work exactly as one would expect and the man page 
describes.  After setting the dpms times once, then a simple, from a 
terminal screen xset -dpms shuts it off, and an xset +dpms re-enables 
it.

Remember, "xset dpms time time time", where time is in seconds, and 
the "xset +dpms or -dpms" are two separate operations.
