[Xorg] Bug Black Screen for 1 or 2 seconds... (in progress)

Hello, I'm archLinux's newbie.

I have a display issue when I watch a video on youtube.com or when I play  minecraft. The screen displays a black screen for 1-2 seconds.

My graphics card is a GeForce 8400 GS.

With pacman, I installed nvidia and xorg-server.

Here is the return of lspci :

Re: [Xorg] Bug Black Screen for 1 or 2 seconds... (in progress)

Is this when switching to full screen? i.e., fullscreen video playback in youtube, or games like minecraft switching to full screen from desktop?

I agree with where vinayv is heading.  This sounds like the video card changed format, and the monitor is blanking while it captures the new video timing.

For flash, I understood the need to disable hardware acceleration. But now the black screen appears a few seconds before the launch of Google Browser Body and the black screen appears when I display the application, not when I put in full screen.
