Description of problem: After leaving the server alone for some time and activating the monitor's power saving mode, the screen is blank even after touching the mouse or keyboard to recover from the power saving mode. The monitor's power lamp changes from orange to green so it seems the power itself has recovered. The screen image could be recovered by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fn to switch to another console and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch back. I have attached the Xorg.0.log output. The messages below are at almost near the end of the file. When the monitor enters power saving mode, the following lines are appended to Xorg.0.log. -------- (II) XGI(0): XGIDisplayPowerManagementSet(3) XGISetDPMS(VESA_POWER_STATE = 0x400)... XGI - No valid address of VBIOS ROM! XGIPowerSaving()...Begin Turn off DAC1... Turn off DVO... Turn on DAC2... XGIPowerSaving()...End -------- Then, by touching the mouse or keyboard. The screen is still black. -------- (II) XGI(0): XGIDisplayPowerManagementSet(0) XGISetDPMS(VESA_POWER_STATE = 0x0)...

I believe this to be the same issue as in bug #704094. Please try this test package: http://people.redhat.com/~ajackson/704094/
In fact I'm so sure that I'm closing this as a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 704094 ***
