WORKAROUND FOUND:

in the radeon driver section, add the line
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,NONE"

The problem might lie in this snippet of code in radeon_driver.c
function RADEONDisplayPowerManagementSet:

        case DPMSModeOff:
            /* Screen: Off; HSync: Off, VSync: Off */
            if (info->IsSecondary)
                OUTREGP(RADEON_CRTC2_GEN_CNTL, mask2, ~mask2);
            else {
                if (info->MergedFB)
                  OUTREGP(RADEON_CRTC2_GEN_CNTL, mask2, ~mask2);
                OUTREGP(RADEON_CRTC_EXT_CNTL, mask1, ~mask1);
            }
            break;
        }

I am not sure what the correct policy would be, so I will leave it to
you.
