Since some weeks I have the problem that my monitor (notebook) goes black randomly. It isn't my screensaver because it can happen if I write something or move my mouse and my screensaver would "fade out" but my monitor goes black immediately. I didn't find any reason for that - I only found outputs in Xorg.log after it happens.
After I move my mouse or press a key my screen is visible again.

enable LVDS
Any hints? I'm using recent packages of Arch (radeon driver).

This might be related to gnome-power-manager and might possibly be fixed with version 2.26.2-1, which is in extra since yesterday.

Not fixed here also. Been checking around the net for a solution but no dice so far.

Ah, yes, fogot to mention using x86_64 here.

Hello,
I've found a tip which works on my computer who had the same flashing black screens.
You have to add these lines in your xorg.conf :
Option "DRI" "False"
Option "AccelMethod" "ShadowFB"

The bugtracker's ticket only speak about radeonhd driver but it also works fine with Nvidia
