Display won't wake up

[Nostradamnit]

Binary package hint: couchdb

System: Ubuntu 9.10 clean install
Video chipset info:
    product: 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller
    vendor: Intel Corporation

Expected results:
Display turns back on via mouse or keyboard input after being turned off by the power management functionality.

Observed results:
After the system turns the monitor off after 30 minutes of inactivity, sometimes it won't come back on, neither by mouse nor keyboard input.

The power management values are pretty much the default; I checked the spin down drives option.
The screensaver is Feedback.

I have to physically power down and then back up to recover.

Please let me know if I can provide further assistance.

I have the same problem.

Video chipset is intel 855GM.

I also have this problem -- exact symptoms and observations as above. It is a new computer, with a fresh new 9.10 installation (dual boots with Win 7). To assist, here's the system specs:

- GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
- AMD Phenom II X3 705e 2.5GHz Socket AM3 65W Triple-Core
- ZOTAC ZT-95TEK2P-FSL GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16
- 4 GB DDR3 RAM
- Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC SSD (gen2)
- 2 DVD drives

I have the screen saver set to blank the screen after 15 minutes and have the power settings set to turn off the screen after 30 minutes. Obviously, there is no hard drive spin-down in mine case as I have an SSD, so that might be something that can be ruled out at least. I have no idea what would be causing this.

I also have to power down to recover, which I hate having to do. If there is some other known recovery method, that would be nice to know. In the mean time, I am going to disable the power saving options as my "solution".

Oh, I should also added that I am using restricted drivers from nVidia, and I'm running Compiz. If you need the full xorg.config, I can provide.

I want to follow up again adding that I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10

Also, based on this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1307653.html I am suspecting the problem is with 185 driver. Maybe. If so, I guess it's an nVidia issue, but it may need to be confirmed.

Also, if anyone does get this "black screen of death" try doing a ctrl-alt-f1. That got me to the command prompt where I was able to at least run a sudo restart to reboot nicely.

For what it is worth I have the same Problem 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 fresh install (No non open source drivers ) Compiz enabled..

Here is the output from lspci:

I'm also experiencing this. My specs are:

ubuntu 9.10 x86_64
gigabyte EP45 UD3P w/ Core 2 Duo E8400
4 gb ram
radeon 4870 w/ the ATi restricted drivers
compiz enabled

for my power settings I had it set to put the display to sleep after 30 minutes. My current workaround is just to set it to not sleep the display, which isn't that desirable. If it's worth anything, my display is an HP 2159m.

I should also add that I've experienced it not waking at all (i.e. moving the mouse and hitting keys on the keyboard and the computer not responding in any way) and I've also had it take 5 or 10 minutes to wake up.

I am also having the exact same issues as the original post. I am running:
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
Kernal Linux 2.6.31-20-generic
GNOME 2.28.1
on a Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 duo 1.83 GHz
