Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.8.0-1 Severity: important One of my monitors (VGA-0) is repeatedly and regularly blanked and unblanked, each change being approx. 1s apart when Xv is in use, e.g. by gxine. The other monitor (DVI-0) is unaffected, and the position of the overlay does not appear to make any difference, though it does need to be visible (tested by shading and unshading the video window).
Reverting to 1:6.7.197-1 cured the problem. I have not checked intermediate snapshot builds. The graphics card is a Radeon X300. X is configured for two monitors, arranged horizontally using xrandr (see attached files). Two log files are attached, one for each referenced version of the driver.
