We shouldn't be adding new extension events that don't come through the
Generic Event Extension, as the extension event space is basically full,
IIRC (see
https://lists.x.org/pipermail/xorg-devel/2010-March/006716.html).  This
also seems like it might belong in RANDR rather than DPMS, as DPMS
doesn't actually tie things to a monitor?

Cheers,
Julien
