    This is not a dpms issue. This is the OS thinking that it is not
    attached to a monitor/KB.  I can remote login and remove dpms any
    time. Besides this happens in a VT also where there is no xfce. I
    just do not know how to tell Linux/OS that a monitor and kb is
    attached and it should look for enabling the respective drivers. I
    thought xrandr is the way to go, but that is only when Xorg is
    running and not when we are at a VT login prompt.
