I have already tried it without compiz, and it did not make a difference for
me. I also tried different window managers
(and no window manager at all, with just xtrem on a plain X screen) and the
monitor still won't go to sleep properly,
either via xscreensaver or via manually doing xset dpms force
standby/suspend/off.

The only thing that solves the problem is going to the free "nv" driver, at
the cost of performance.
I think someone needs to look at the nvidia driver's dpms calls. It's also
strange that
standby/suspend/off have the exact same behavior. I'm guessing all 3 options
result
in the exact same thing done by the nvidia driver. nvidia folks, can someone
look into this?
We want to protect the environment, and dpms needs to work properly !
