I wonder if the monitor doesn't support the Energy Star stuff or it's
not switched on. Try reading the manpage for xset and fiddling around
with the dpms option. E.g:

$ xset dpms force on
$ xset +dpms

You might also want to set the timings for when the monitor goes into
standby etc.

I've got this in ~.Xdefaults:

XTerm*faceName: Inconsolata
XTerm*faceSize: 16
