I can't offer *much*, except that DPMS is implemented on a
driver-specific basis, because it involves register-level poking of the
video chipset.

For your chipset, the implementation appears to be in the function
ATIMach64SetDPMSMode() in the file
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/atimach64.c.

Can you try reproducing this problem with a different monitor?
