Monitor keeps going to sleep, DPMS problems

[JustinBailey]

I have an Asus monitor. It keeps going into sleep mode, about every 5 minutes or so, if there's no activity to keep it awake. I've shut off everything I could find. I went into Power Management > Energy Saving Settings, and unchecked all of the boxes. I checked the monitor's own menu, and found nothing. I even poked around the BIOS, and didn't find anything there, either.

I have found that using

sudo xset -dpms

works. I had it in Autostart as

xset -dpms

(without the sudo) and that wasn't working. Will it work to just append sudo to it, and put it in Autostart? Or is there another way, that turns off DPMS permanently?

Apparently, something is causing DPMS to get turned back on, too. The monitor just went to sleep again, and I ran

xset -q

and DPMS was back on.
