every crt monitor i have had since i had any pc does dpms just fine - it turns
off. and back on again once signal is back. there may be some oddities around
from way back (the early 90's or 80's) but e's memory requirements along would
put any machine from there out-of-scope to run e. on your average desktop i'd
say you'd need 128m of ram. in 96 my pc was a p120, did dpms and had 32m ram..
which is far less...

so you somehow have managed the odd luck of having the worlds worst crt... or
one of the oldest salvaged from a machine much older than my first pc... :)
