When the monitor enters dpms, it starts polling inputs so it can light up
whatever input gets connected without the user having to manually select the
input.  This can cause havoc with drivers sometimes.

DC handles both short and long pulses while I think the non-DC code only
handles long pulses.  IIRC, the only difference is the length of the pulse and
I think the register values used to determine the pulse length are tuned
slightly differently in DC to deal with other problematic monitors.  I suspect
tuning those settings would fix the issue, but I don't know if it would break
other things.
