[Arm-netbook] DPMS on Mele A1000/A2000 VGA output?

[Roman Mamedov]

Hello,

I have noticed that DPMS (turning off the display, mostly used on inactivity)
does not seem to work in Xorg with the fbdev driver on a Mele A2000, despite
Xorg having in the log:

[  4560.659] (II) Loading extension DPMS
...
[  4560.677] (==) FBDEV(0): DPMS enabled

Commands like "xset dpms force suspend" and "xset dpms force off" fail to
activate the corresponding modes.

Has anyone done any experiments with this, and is using DPMS on VGA possible
at all on A10? I have a bad feeling this might be a hardware limitation, and
it can't work at all, or at least on VGA.
