I've provided a couple of fixes that might be relevant here -- neither
kernel nor user mode were setting the tracked DPMS state of the outputs
to ON when doing mode setting, which caused all kinds of comedy. These
should fix 23472 and 31803. I'm not entirely sure what's up with 23122,
but it's possible that it's the same issue.

The user mode DPMS tracking fix is in xf86-video-intel master, the
kernel DPMS tracking fix was sent to Chris last week.
