I've been having this problem since a while now, you're not alone.
However I think I'm on to it now, because now I get blackouts all the
time and I know what I changed :-) I am getting blackouts every
minute when writing this, so compare your setup to mine:
1 I only have this problem when two users run sessions on the machine.
If I run only one user, no problem at all. Each user runs his own
X server, this is under Fedora 8 (x86_64).
2 It seems only the second user gets the blackouts after logging in and
starting his/her secondary X session.
3 To replicate something really nasty here, switch to the first logged-in
users session, go into your screen save settings and set it to consider
computer inactive after 1 minute. Then go into gnome power manager (or
whatever you're using for this, perhaps only g-p-m has this problem)
and set down time before the screen sleeps to lowest possible value,
2 minutes it should be now. Switch back to secondary user. If everything
is as on my machines, you will start getting massive blackouts after
2 minutes.
So it is gnome-power-manager running as the first user logged in that is
causing this. It uses DPMS to shut down the screen through the X server.
Now, I don't know what tool is making the mistake here. I believe that
even if g-p-m tells X to blank the screen, only the X instance that is
currently holding the display/monitor should actually be allowed to turn
off the screen with DPMS.
Can the other reporters confirm this root cause?
