I don't suppose anyone knows how to turn off the standby mode thingy in linux (heh, I'm well up to speed on my terminology aren't I?).
On my system the settings are held in the file .xscreensaver in my home directory. You can edit this by hand or with the xscreensaver-demo.
Thinking about it (and to add to my previous reply) it does the same thing when I haven't got X loaded, so I guess it could be someting else apart from messing with xset/.xscreensaver ? (or, more likely, in addition too)
I would expect that, during the time X was running, any DPMS settings changed with xset or changed by xscreensaver would take precedence over whatever happens in normal console mode.
I also don't know you could change it in console mode.
