Thankee Sire!

Problem sorted.  (hotkey bound to "xset dmps force on") as Xorg.log
gave me this:

   (II) RADEON(0): DPMS capabilities: Off

Of course I then added Option "DPMS" to xorg.conf but it seemed to
have no effect. No doubt this is now buried deep within some HAL
configuration somewhere that I canna be bothered to hunt down just
yet.

Either that or my old Radeon card really doesn't support such shenanigans.
