Hi Particlese, In my case the problem was solved by updating xorg-video-intel package up to 2.5.1 version following some "magic words" in the xorg.conf. Please, try to update that package.
Also I can confirm that 2.6.1 version is working well (fix for blank VGA also included). My Aspire One laptop has been working for 2 days, and no issue with a "black" screen was reported. Please, try to find more information on http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2008Q4.html. Do not forgot to put options in your xorg.conf: ... Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" ... # It turns off disabling pipa A by a driver after while. # Its 100 % working workaround. Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" ... EndSection ... Finally, well working versions for me are: 2.5.1 2.6.1 Software configuration for 2.5.1: kernel 2.6.28.1 Xorg 7.3 mesa 7.0.2 -- VGA-out dies after a while on Eee 1000H https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
