I haven't tried to do it from DJGPP, but here is a code fragment from a Borland
C++ app I use:

   _AX = 0x4F10;
   _BL = 0x01;
   _BH = mode;
   geninterrupt(0x10);

mode: 0=on, 1=standby, 2=suspend, 4=off.  It's probably straightforward to
translate this to DJGPP-compatible calls.  I got the info from Ralf Brown's
interrupt list:

You should be aware that some interesting things can happen if you attempt to use
alt-tab to switch back to Windows while the monitor is sleeping.  Hope this
helps.
