Comment (by wmb at firmworks.com):
Aha, this text from the DCON specification looks relevant (last paragraph
in the description of Bit 1: DCON Sleep Mode on page 4):
Exiting Sleep mode may be performed either manually or automatically.
Under normal circumstances, this bit will be cleared automatically upon
arrival of an ECPWRRQST. In other words, pressing a key restores the
video display independently of the host CPU, thus “instantly” turning on
the display when a keyboard key, cursor button, or the touchpad has been
activated (this masks the latency that would otherwise be required for the
CPU to enable the display). Alternately, if desired, the CPU may exit
Sleep mode and reinitiate display refresh by clearing this bit to 0.
