Hallo ArchCommunity,
I have a ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card, it's work work with the radeonhd driver. All works fine, but sometimes my screen goes black. Just for one/two seconds but this is not funny for me this happen mostly when I have many activity on may desktop for example when any command (find / -name "*") produced a lot of output.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may have happened? I would really appreciate any help people can give. Thanks!

hi.
i had some problems with radeonhd (with a hd3300), but my problem was that dpms shut off my monitor after 1-3 minutes of inactivity, regardless of video playback or timeout settings.
Perhaps dpms is a problem here, too. Have you tried to disable it (e. g. with 'xset -dpms')?
I think it `s enabled per default if you don`t define otherwise in xorg.conf...

have you tried you the normal "radeon" driver, or do you need hdmi output?

This has been happening to me too lately. I have an Nvidia card (GeForce Go 7300). A dmesg|tail gives :
CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec
CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec
CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 33750 nsec
This is either the cause or the effect. I have read elsewhere that disabling hpet through a grub option may prevent this sort of freeze. Can anyone confirm this?

I have also these weird freezes, with both free and non-free nvidia driver. I have also a geforce 7300.
jarav, did you solve your problem since then?
Currently using Arch64 + Gnome and kernel 2.6.30

No. The freezes still continue.

That is not cool... :'(

I agree with hb. There appears to be a problem with DPMS in the radeonhd driver (module version = 1.2.5) where the screen will shut off after short periods of time, even with activity.

Please try the git-version of radeonhd if this doesn't solve your problem have a look in the bugtracker https://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
