I'd rather post this on the upstream bug but Bryce's link to it looks
broken.

Well, I am afraid it is still an issue in Ubuntu.  More of this,
considering the date (2009-12-19) Bryce made his comment of a fix
released, it looks like the this fix actually brought this problem to my
PC.

I have Asus P4PE motherboard, ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350 AS) graphic card
and Ubuntu 8.04 installed.

I've never experienced this problem until recently.  And I am running PC
with the mentioned above configuration from the date Hardy was released.
These are almost 2 years for now.

I do not remember exactly but it showed up on my PC at the very first
time about 1-2 months ago.  It happened from that time only 3 times
always in the middle of a session, all 3 times while PC was just idle.
The monitor goes black, "no signal" on monitor the keyboard was locked 2
times of 3 completely, and I had to shutdown by pushing a power button
on a tower.  The last time keyboard responded to Ctrl-Delete and
restarted PC.  Then I could continue to work as normal.

My first shot was actually a hardware problem.  But after some
troubleshooting, further investigation and research I came here.  And
here I think my problem is.

That's a pity, since I would prefer Open Source driver over proprietary
one.
