I've now upgraded to XFree86-Server-4.2.1_5.  dpms still does not
work for me:

% xset dpms force off ; xset q | tail -5
  Standby: 300    Suspend: 600    Off: 660
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is Off
Font cache:
  hi-mark (KB): 1024  low-mark (KB): 768  balance (%): 70

(and I'm looking at the monitor and it is on)

My video card is an ATI Rage 128:

none1@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x7106174b chip=0x54461002
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies'
    device   = 'Rage 128 Pro AGP 4x'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA


Do I need something special in my /etc/X11/XF86Config to make this
work?  I never had problems on my old system (an alpha with a
3dlabs Permedia-2 based AGP card).
