            This happens to me about 3-4 times when I first boot X.org. It's like
            it goes into screensaver mode. However, I can recover by just
            pressing any key, and the monitor will turn back on. It will turn off
            my monitor about 3-4 times but then after that it goes back to normal
            and never happens again.

            I have posted to Bugzilla but have not gotten any replies. I am
            wondering if anyone is familiar with this problem:
            
            
            
            Description of problem:
            
            I have an error where the screen blacks out [seems to turn off all
            
            output to the monitor] after a certain period of time whether I am
            
            activly using my system or it is idle. I need to either restart the
            
            computer to regain functionality or SOMETIMES i can Ctrl-Alt-F7 or F8
            
            and it will switch back into the X session I had been running.
            
            Otherwise Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesnt even bring up the shell,
            
            Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesnt restart X, and the keyboard seems to not
            
            function [i know this because no keyboard lights go on for Num/Caps
            
            lock]. It occurs after my installation of FC2 x86_64 today and I
            
            origianlly thought it may be the wrong monitor that I specificed, but
            
            I returned to generic and it still occurs. I am running a PCI ATI
            
            All-In-Wonder Radeon [i believe 7000 series] on a FC2 AMD Athlon64
            
            system with x86_64.
            
            
            
            Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
            
            default FC2 x86_64 release
            
            
            
            How reproducible:
            
            Always
            
            
            
            Steps to Reproduce:
            
            1. Install FC2 on x86_64
            
            2. Boot up X and logon
            
            3. Use the computer for 10-20 minutes or let it be idle and will find
            
            the screen go blank
            
              
            
            
            
            Actual Results: Screen goes blank. Usually keyboard is unrepsonsive
            
            to X restart commands or Shell keycodes.
            
            
            
            Expected Results: X continue to function normally. No reason for the
            
            screen to go blank. The drivers and config SEEM to be correct as it
            
            takes time for this issue to occue.
            
            
            
            Additional info:
            
            
            
            Have tried to reconfigure the monitor display. Didnt work.
