Hi,
not really. I've the same problem with SuSe 10.3.
In a console-session (Icon on desktop) i activate 'xset -dpms' and every
first startup i activate it. 
I start my computer every day once, therefor it is one call a day.
Sorry, more help can i give you this time.

You know you can make that happen automatically if you configure your xorg 
correctly, just tell xorg to disable dpms in ServerFlags section.

Hi J.O. Aho,
I changed my xorg. 
After reboot SuSE 103 starts without any error, but only in console-modus
After removing the lines the computer starts normal.
Perhaps it is my monitor (VidoeSeven 17'' TFT)
