Post subject:  HDTV Works great, but goes blank after a while with DPMS OFF

Hey all, I've got a Philips HDTV running off of an Nvidia GeForce 5200FX using a DVI to HDMI cable. The result is a great looking display. My only problem is that the screen will go blank after turning the tv off and on again, or after an determined amount of time. I have DPMS turned off in the xorg.conf file. The only solution so far is to jump to anther terminal (ALT + F#) and then back to the display terminal (ALT + F7).

This is quite confusing and I'm not sure where to go from here.

Here are some of the relevant xorg.conf lines:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "philips"
    HorizSync   20-150
    VertRefresh 30-90
    Option      "IgnoreEDID"
    DisplaySize        320 180
#  DisplaySize            1085.34125 610.504451
    ModeLine "720p" 73.825 1280 1320 1368 1640 720 722 724 751 +hsync +vsync
    Modeline "1920x1080"   250   1920 1964 2052 2200   1080 1090 1100 1170  -hsync -vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "mx4000"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    Option      "nologo"
    Option      "DPMS"   "FALSE"
    Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option      "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "mx4000"
    Monitor     "philips"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxSizeCheck, NoHorizSyncCheck, NoVertRefreshCheck"

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes   "1920x1080"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

Less I'm mistaken, the DPMS option should be in the monitor section...
