This is on a Pi4, and I see the console screen saver modules are not
built anyway on this platform, but the newer vt console driver doesn't support them, and experiments on a virtual amd64 system have shown sc
has other issues.
I've tried running xdm in the faint hope that it might choose not to
burn holes in the screen, but it seems I'm out of luck.

The X11 server (as started by xdm) _should_ do this by default.
It certainly does here, and I have not explicitly configured it to
do so--but that's on amd64 with Intel graphics, so it may depend
on the video driver.
What does "xset q" report? Does it show a DPMS section?

DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On

Useful thought, thank you.
But I find that Xorg.log says dpms is loaded and initialized, yet xset
-q says it's not available. Odd.
