Description of Problem:  
  
This is not a Suspend issue (that works fine). This is a simple screen  
blanking issue.  
  
When I'm on battery power if the screen blanks and I move the  
mouse or touch a key to bring it back, I get an orgy of colors and  
static on the screen.  
  
The machine itself is not hung up. A CTL-ALT-F1 doesn't change the  
screen all that much, still messed up.  I can "blindly" login though and  
do an 'init 6' to reboot.  
  
Other aspects of the video on battery power work fine including  
suspend/resume.  I bought this laptop 4 weeks ago (right after Limbo2  
came out). I've seen this behavior the whole time. RHL 7.3 won't install  
(IDE problems).  
  
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  
  
XFree86-4.2.0-71  
kernel-2.4.18-14  
  
  
How Reproducible:  
Every Time  
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
1. Boot to runlevel 5  
2. Wait until the screen blanks  
3. Move the mouse, observe the chaos.
