Ah, it seems it isn't necessary. I commented out 'Option "DPMS"' from
the "Device" section, and
$ xset -q
and
$ grep -i dpms /var/log/Xorg.0.log
return the same values as they did before. However, DPMS still doesn't
work!
For what it's worth I remember having to add that option with older
versions of the NVIDIA driver and a quick search on google shows that
advice repeated. It doesn't seem to be necessary any longer.
Best, Darren
