Sir,

Thanks for the suggestion. However I did a xset -q | grep Monitor and it says "On". I then turned off the monitor did a cursor up to execute the last command hit enter, turned the monitor back on and it still said "On". I then unplugged the monitor, cursor up to execute last command hit enter, turned back on the monitor and it still said "On".

Do you have another suggestion? Thank you.

It works fine on both my laptop and desktop... What kind of graphics card do you have? sounds like some piece of hardware or its driver doesn't implement dpms completely - in that case no other tool would help you either...
