man xorg.conf /DPMS

-> 

Option "DPMS"  "bool"
       This  option  controls whether the server should enable the DPMS
       extension for power management for this screen.  The default  is
       to enable the extension.

When the following is set to 0 it means disabled as well...
Option "BlankTime"  "time"
Option "StandbyTime"  "time"
Option "SuspendTime"  "time"
Option "OffTime"  "time"
