I am using i3wm with xss-lock. I can't disable dpms. I want to disable it permanently, but even temporarily I can't.
xset -dpms
doesn't work, the screen still goes black after 10 minutes. I tried putting
xset -dpms
and (not at the same time)
xset s off &
in .xinitrc, but that didn't do anything. I've also made the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor-conf, and put this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "<default monitor>"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "ServerLayout0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
DIdn't do anything.
Edit: I solved this by adding the following lines to my i3 config:
exec --no-startup-id xset -dpms &
exec --no-startup-id xset s noblank &
exec --no-startup-id xset s off &

I've tried many things to disable dpms including the ones you mention and now I have
(sleep 14s && xset -dpms) &
(sleep 14s && xset s off) &
(sleep 14s && xset s noexpose) &
(sleep 14s && xset s noblank) &
in my .xprofile file. I use xfce.
