{ exec(‘xset dpms force on’, null); }
{ exec(‘xset dpms force off’, null); }

These commands do work. I just tested them on my desktop machine with a monitor connected through DVI and a laptop. Displays are immediately turned off (standby) and on. Here’s the laptop.

I had similar problems using xrandr for disabling/enabling the monitor.

We did a fix in mm for the above problem (coming with next release) but I don’t know if this fixes your problem too.

You can find the fix in this PR.
