Dmps : screen flickering after shutdown and restart of the monitor

Hello everyone,

After looking on the wiki and the forum I could not find a solution to my problem.

I am using OpenBox on Arch, since a few months now I get a weird issue. I use dmps to shutdown the monitor of my Acer Aspire S3 (ultrabook) after a specific amount of time if the keyboard/touchpad has not been use. When I touch the keyboard the screen start but the image is flickering and does not refresh. The only way to have a good image is to switch to a tty and to go back to the one running Xorg.

I am using the latest intel driver, the git version does not solve the issue.

Some logs :
Xorg  http://pastebin.com/h6nvT5YF
lspci http://pastebin.com/asPC95zL

Some configuration

.xinitrc to start dmps is :

xset +dpms
xset dpms 0 0 300

20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   #Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
   Option      "TearFree"    "true"
   Option       "SwapbuffersWait"    "true"
EndSection

Using uxa acceleration does not solve the issue and create other.
