[Bug 642227] [NEW] screen goes blank seemingly at random times

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The screen goes blank
seemingly at random times. It appears to be locking the screen.
Sometimes I get the virtual terminal and sometimes it's just garbage. I
un-installed the screen-saver and thought I had the problem fixed but
yesterday I experienced the same problem twice right in the middle of
what I was doing.

I'm running an HP Pavilion desktop with a Intel 82845G/GL video chip
set. Celeron cpu 3.06Ghz, 1 Gig ram, with Ubuntu 10.04 lucid, kernel
2.6.32-24-generic, gnome 2.30.2

It's most annoying because I usually have to power cycle the machine.
