My Debian system is using KDE 5.26.
And my X didn't have the DPMS (display power management signaling) feature:
$ xset
To control Energy Star (DPMS) features:
-dpms Energy Star features off
$ xset q
DPMS (Energy Star):
Server does not have the DPMS Extension
$ xset -dpms
server does not have extension for -dpms option
Instead, it was being managed by KDE, according to the ~/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc configuration. This file is what KDE's System settings GUI configures. The [AC][DPMSControl] is what you're looking for if you're using KDE. Comment it or remove it to disable the DPMS feature.
[AC]
icon=battery-charging
[AC][DPMSControl]
idleTime=540
lockBeforeTurnOff=0
[AC][DimDisplay]
idleTime=60000
[AC][HandleButtonEvents]
lidAction=1
powerButtonAction=16
powerDownAction=16
It can also be configured with kwriteconfig5 on a terminal: kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc --group AC --group DPMSControl --key idleTime 540.

Usually xset -dpms should do it, though your desktop environment may have extra facilities for setting it.

When the server starts, he also starts a init.d file to start this certain website. The file looks like this : "startx -e firefox "http://www.mywebsite.com"
Looking at the answers i added an extra line "xset -dpms; xset s blank" this didn't solve my problem.
I also closed the window and typed "xset -dpms; xset s blank" in terminal when x was started, this also didn't solve my problem.
Am i doing something wrong?
