1 from xorg.conf(5x):
2
3 SERVERFLAGS SECTION
4 [...]
5 Option "BlankTime" "time"
6 sets the inactivity timeout for the blanking phase of the screensaver.
7 time is in minutes. This is equivalent to the Xorg server's `-s'
8 flag, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1x).
9 Default: 10 minutes.
10
11 Option "StandbyTime" "time"
12 sets the inactivity timeout for the "standby" phase of DPMS mode.
13 time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with
14 xset(1x). Default: 20 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS
15 compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers.
16 It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see
17 the MONITOR section below).
18
19 Option "SuspendTime" "time"
20 sets the inactivity timeout for the "suspend" phase of DPMS mode.
21 time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with
22 xset(1x). Default: 30 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS
23 compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers.
24 It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see
25 the MONITOR section below).
26
27 Option "OffTime" "time"
28 sets the inactivity timeout for the "off" phase of DPMS mode.
29 time is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run-time with
30 xset(1x). Default: 40 minutes. This is only suitable for VESA DPMS
31 compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers.
32 It is only enabled for screens that have the "DPMS" option set (see
33 the MONITOR section below).

36 The problem is the space in the option names. My xorg.conf has this,
37 works fine:
38 > Option "BlankTime" "0"
39 > Option "StandbyTime" "0"
40 > Option "SuspendTime" "0"
41 > Option "OffTime" "10"
