Ok, interesting to know. Now somehow the way using "xset dpms 240 0 0"
(stand-by) quite surely made a difference for me at the time (<3.1) - but I
can't prove and explain in detail.

Now currently I'm using "xset dpms 0 240 0" (suspend) with 3.1 and until now it
wakes up quite reliable. Which would be in inline with your info, that the
driver operates on the same two states, as with stand-by. 

Maybe I'll also retest again the KDE power mgmt setting way, where I originally
observed the wake-up problem. Maybe it's some screwed side effect in the end.

No, no - I'm really talking about pure display suspend/resume, on a desktop
with an Asus screen. Only the display is suspended and should nicely wakeup
again, when I tick the mouse ;).
