I'm not sure if its entirely related to this bug. Several times I have had the screen blacked out during normal use. It doesn't happen to me nearly as frequently as the log in issue, but is problematic . dpms event restores the screen.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Adam Carter, it will help immensely if you filed a new report via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Please ensure you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

This issue has sat incomplete for over six years now without any input from the reporter so it is being closed as "Invalid".

As per the request in comment #45, if this is still an issue when using a currently supported release of Ubuntu anyone other than the reporter should open a new bug report of their own by issuing the command

  ubuntu-bug-xorg

in a terminal.
