[SOLVED] monitor sleep

Hello, everyone! I would like to know is there anyway to set my monitor to sleep after my computer is idle for lets say 5 minutes?

I viewed some posts and most said to add or change something in the xorg.conf file but i don't have one.

Arch 2.6.37
openbox
nvidia geforce 6800

xscreensaver is another easy way to use DPMS, if preferred.
