If your graphics adapter/monitor has support for it, yes! If you have
an S3/Mach64-based adapter and are using the XF86_S3(V) or
XF86_Mach64 server. You need to edit your XF86Config file and add the
option "power_saver". Here's a snipet from the XF86_S3 man page:
power_saver - (S3, Mach64) This option enables the
server to use the power saving features of VESA
DPMS compatible monitors. The suspend level is
currently only supported for the Mach64 and for
the 732, 764, 864, 868, 964, 968 S3 chips. Refer
to the XF86Config(4/5) manual page for details of
how to set the timeouts for the different levels
of operation. This option is experimental.
You can control the behavior of this feature on-the-fly using the
xset command. See the man page for details. This works great for
me on my S3 864 based board.
