Screen becomes black for few seconds.

[Moto Toshi]

Binary package hint: xorg

For a time, occasionally I'd experienced black screen (that appears and few seconds later disappears on it's own). With recent updates this is no more occasional, it's now REALLY frequent. Can happen twice or thrice in a row, never lasts more than few seconds, up to 4 tops. Most frequently with Firefox or Opera enabled, but happens also after both are shut down. Will update the bug whenever I'll find something new.

Kinda like a screensaver, turns black then turns back to whatever I was doing (with key pressed or mouse move or on it's own).

Moto Toshi, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
