Since switching to Gutsy to verify whether the packages I maintain still
operate as expected, I have noticed that after a  few minutes of idle
operation, the screen goes blank and cannot be returned to normal. The
only way to get screen content again is to reboot, which is possible
either by pressing the ACPI-enabled power button or a remote SSH
connection. Broken DPMS is suspected, although I have no way of
confirming this.

Purposely downgrading xserver-xorg-core and anything that depend on it,
then pining it to that version, while keeping all the rest of the
packages to Gutsy versions solves it, which suggests something related
to X.org upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 might be at play.

Note: someone on #ltsp mentions a similar situation using xserver-xorg-
video-amd, yet the exact same AMD driver doesn't exhibit this behavior
when compiled and used with earlier X releases.
