I put my machine into console (aka VT) mode (ctrl-alt-Fx) when not in use. I want it to blank the monitor (DPMS). I figured out the commands to do this. But, this doesn't survive a reboot.

You don't need to switch to a VT. You can configure dpms in xorg.conf (see man xorg.conf). That way, you needn't worry about your settings surviving a reboot. Andras
