We don't currently update the DPMS status of the connector (both in the connector itself and the connector's DPMS property) in the fb helper code. This means that if the kernel FB core has blanked the screen, sysfs will still show a DPMS status of "on". It also means that when X starts, it will try to light up the connectors, but the drm_crtc_helper code will ignore the DPMS change since according to the connector, the DPMS status is already on. Fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28436 (the annoying "my screen was blanked when I started X and now it won't light up" bug).

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
