load/enable the following module,

"extmod"    # some commonly used server extensions (e.g. shape extension)

I'm able to use 'xset dpms force off' again.

dpms setting does not work for vesa

But the problem is that none of the dpms setting is working:

xset dpms force standby
xset dpms force suspend
xset dpms force off

None of the above command has any effect. I'm using the vesa driver.
