I'm trying to work around this issue:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=197817
and trying to turn off applications that suspend or power down or hibernate the monitor
screensavers are off, radeon power management's turned off ... yet something has powered the monitor down recently
any suggestions what could be doing it?
* I'm waiting for bug tracker info to post that to the xorg radeon list

I've had a different issue with my R7 260x, when the screen turns off due to idle time, my system will often completely freeze. I am unable to switch to a different tty. I can't ssh in, and my machine doesn't even respond to ping.
I have just installed the latest proprietary drivers (you need to set repo as catalyst-stable, and it forces you to install Xorg 1.16). I am not sure if my problem has been fixed yet, but perhaps the newer driver might fix things for you.

update:
I had xscreensaver on this machine before and had simply removed it from the list of session startup programs, then manually killed it.
The monitor turned "itself" off several times more. During all of this the radeon DPM features were turned off on the kernel command line.
As a random guess I re-enabled xscreensaver and in the settings disabled both power management and xscreensaver itself.
No "random" monitor shutdowns since then.

thanks for the advice.
Last time I tried the proprietary driver I had a lot of problems so I'm avoiding that for the time being.
maybe in 1 or 2 more release cycles ...
