SOLVED: X screen blanking after 10 minutes

Solution:

xset s off

...did the trick

I've set in xinitrc:

xset dpms 0 1800 3600
xautolock -time 30 -locker slock -notify 10 &

This should suspend my monitor after 30 minutes and power off after 60 minutes, which, in fact, it does.

But for some reason, my screen blanks out after 10 minutes in inactivity.  I do not have xscreensaver or any other screensaver installed.

There's Xorg v and -v for screensaver with and without screen blanking...I guess there must be some default setting, but I have no xorg.conf in X.Org X Server 1.8.1.902 (1.8.2 RC 2) and I run with xinit, so how do i view / change this default setting because it interferes with my DPMS settings in xset?
