I don't understand. Do you mean that the X server wasn't coming up at
all before? I thought your problem was about DPMS.

How are your symptoms then? Are they somewhat different after
upgrading to 1.7.0?

Is the screen already "freezed" when you start a plain X server with
no clients?
# Xorg -retro -logverbose 8

Don't you get an X-shaped cursor after running that? If you don't,
then there may be some problem with hardware cursor rendering. Try
adding this to Section "Device":
> Option "HWCursor" "off"
