Bug Description
My monitor sometimes goes black. It is not the screen saver, and the only way to get out of it is to manually shut down by holding the button and then by rebooting manually. I am using Xubuntu and Gnome.
Someone else saif they found a patch that helped but I don't know what it is.
Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
What version of Ubuntu are you using? Have you noticed that this screen blanking follows any particular events - leaving the system idle for a period of time, launching any particular problem?
Dropping the assignment to the 'acpi-support' package, which is unrelated (but we don't know yet what package this bug is in).
