Some success. Built kernel26-git (2.6.38-rc3-00201-g44f2c5c-dirty). With
xf86-video-ati, I was able to successfully unblank the screen after executing:

sleep 2; xset dpms force suspend

However- I was only able to successfully unblank the screen if I started X as
root (login as root, then startx). It didn't work as a regular user. I also
tried this as root with my other 2.6.37 kernels I have installed, and it did
not work. So something in the new 2.6.38-rc3 kernel addresses my issue, at
least when run as root.

My regular user belongs to these groups:

disk wheel games network video audio optical floppy storage scanner camera
power users
