Title:
  Non-proprietary (Ubuntu's default) video driver eventually switches
  monitor to a fuzzy mode (ATI/AMD video hardware)

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 10.04 --- in ISO Testing.

  I did NOT install any proprietary hardware drivers.... so...

  The Non-proprietary (Ubuntu's default) video driver eventually
  switches monitor to a fuzzy mode.

  I have ATI/AMD video hardware (on a Gateway AMD 64 Phenom 9150e Quad-
  Core machine).

  After using the computer for a while...  ( maybe an hour or so....? )
  the monitor "goes to "sleep" for about ONE second, then, it wakes
  up.... and all the fonts are "blurry"...

  It's as if the monitor has switched into a "analog mode"...?  ( I am
  only guessing here. )

  As if the PC / OS has told the monitor to switch modes...?   ( Again,
  only guessing here. )

  Rebooting doesn't even seem to fix it.

  I think perhaps power-cycling the monitor AND rebooting the PC...
  fixes it.

  I'll try this a update in the comments here.

  Very strange tho.
