I'd like to detect when the monitor is physically shut off by a user; I was 
hoping that DPMS would be the solution to my quest, but after doing xset 
+dpms and ensuring dpms is in the monitor section of my XF86Config (xfree 
4.2.0 or thereabouts) it still doesn't report the state of the monitor 
correctly if I do a sleep 10; xset q , physically turning off the monitor 
after I hit enter.  I can issue "xset dpms force standby" and it will go to 
standby, and "xset dpms force off", which will cause it to flicker off, then 
come back on about a second later of it's own volition, but I'm still no 
closer to a resolution of my problem =(

I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
