I can only tell how it works here, for X:
I shutdown my monitor with this entry in .xinitrc:
xset dpms 0 0 180 m 6 2 &

which means the monitor gets shut down afer 3 Minutes
("m 6 2" manages mouse movements)

xset -q
gives me the current settings in X

man xset

Or were you talking about the terminal/console Power Management?
(In this case I can't help, sorry ..)

Hoping this helps
Wolfgang
