What hardware is this? Is the monitor perhaps blanking on its own? Maybe turning off the "power saving" feature of the panel might help. Thanks.

Comment 4 Robert McSwain 2015-08-26 13:56:32 UTC
I've asked the customer to confirm if he's still having this issue and if so with what version of GNOME and which hardware.
