Title:
  radeon driver "randomly" blanks screen on DVI

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The radeon driver randomly blanks the screen (connected via DVI),
  especially while working with Thunderbird. If it happens, it usually
  happens several times in a row, and then it is good again for a day or
  so.

  I do have Option "DisplayPriority" "HIGH" in my xorg.conf, and
  radeon.modeset=0 in my boot params.

  These settings seems to have helped somewhat (before I had them, the
  incident occured much more frequently), but didn't fix it completely.

  
  My card is a Radeon RS690 (X1200 Series):

  > lspci | fgrep VGA
  01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 
Series]

  
  3. What I expect to happen:

  The screen should not blank while I'm actively working with the
  computer

  
  4. What does happen:

  The screen blanks, even while I am active
