Bug Description
Since switching to Gutsy to verify whether the packages I maintain still operate as expected, I have noticed that after a few minutes of idle operation, the screen goes blank and cannot be returned to normal. The only way to get screen content again is to reboot, which is possible either by pressing the ACPI-enabled power button or a remote SSH connection. Broken DPMS is suspected, although I have no way of confirming this.
Purposely downgrading xserver-xorg-core and anything that depend on it, then pining it to that version, while keeping all the rest of the packages to Gutsy versions solves it, which suggests something related to X.org upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 might be at play.
Note: someone on #ltsp mentions a similar situation using xserver-
