Well, if you still have the screen...
Anyway, this bug is 3 years old now, and if your screen really don't have DPMS support, there is no way `xset dpms force ???' will work. On my computer, with vesa driver I tried the 4 options and all work, but my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file says: [...] (II) VESA(0): EDID Version: 1.3 (II) VESA(0): Analog Display Input, Input Voltage Level: 0.700/0.300 V (II) VESA(0): Sync: Separate Composite SyncOnGreen (II) VESA(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 38 vert.: 30 (II) VESA(0): Gamma: 2.20 (II) VESA(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off; RGB/Color Display [...] May I close this bug ?
