The implication would seem to be that an action during dpms is going
wrong. Does a simple 'xset dpms force off; sleep 1; xset dpms force on'
trigger the error? If so can you please attach your Xorg.0.log and if
you could compile with --enable-debug=full and send me the log
reproducing the error that would be very helpful.
