I can also confirm this issue, unfortunately after moving from Gentoo, to Ubuntu 8.04, I also get the vcons switching issue (which the posted workaround in <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion/+bug/144178">bug #144178</a> does not seem to work for me. Perhaps this is because I'm using vesafb, and not vga16fb).
I wish I could be of more use. Disabling DPMS is the only workaround I can think of for the moment. Is anyone in a position to actually debug this and investigate the cause? ** Attachment added: "Xorg conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14874296/xorg.conf -- Screen blanks and freezes after a few minutes of idling, possibly due to broken DPMS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
