Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

During ubuntu install and in X, my display periodically goes black for a
few seconds, as if power saving is kicking in.  It turns itself right
back on, but this happens at pseudo-random intervals, usually about a
minute or so apart, but sometimes two or three times in quick
succession.

The problem went away as soon as I installed the proprietary AMD
drivers.

lspci says this is my video card:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

The Xorg log from before I switched to proprietary ATI drivers is
attached.
