[SOLVED]DPMS don't disable(nvidia)

Hello,
I want to disable DPMS, but it doesn't.

in Xorg.0.log:

[    18.671] (==) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
[    18.673] (II) Initializing extension DPMS

11-monitor.conf

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier     "DP-0"
        Option         "Primary"     "True"
        Option         "DPMS"        "Disable"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier     "HDMI-0"
        Option         "DPMS"        "Disable"
EndSection

xset -q

.
.
.
DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling):
  Standby: 600    Suspend: 600    Off: 600
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

But

xset -dpms 

works

Where can be a problem? 
Thanks in advance

P.S. I didn't find any nvidia specific options for DPMS, beside "hardDPMS" which doesn't work for me

Re: [SOLVED]DPMS don't disable(nvidia)

Check the xorg log and the xorg.conf manpage.
"Disable" is not an acceptable value for a boolean.

Also the config you're using is different from disabling the extension, https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/xor … NS_SECTION
