I've had something similar, where DPMS would work initially, and switch
the screen off after the configured timeout, then switch on again for no
apparent reason after a few minutes and stay on.
What I could find out is that xorg connects to the ACPI daemon and
interprets LID events. In my case (Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop) there are
spurious LID events, e.g. sometimes three "closes" in a row. This made
xorg switch the screen on, but then not switch it off again.
Anyway, the solution for me was to add:
Option "NoPM"
to the "ServerFlags" section.
