I'm running 4.2.1_4 and dpms does not work for me.

I just grabbed some diffs from the Xfree86 cvs to bring
drivers/ati/r128_driver.c up to 1.57.2.1 and drivers/ati/r128_reg.h up
to 1.14 and rebuilt the my r128_drv.o module.  I'll see if it works
the next time X crashes..  (I'm running current, so X crashes once/day
or so..)
