    Monitor goes on standby mode

    My monitor goes on standby mode while doing something like playing music, internet sufing, watching movies, and other things

    and I can't resume my work even if I press the mouse button nor the enter key

    to work on again I have to press ctrl+alt+backspace

    why this is happenning?

    Angry Same problem

    Same here!
    I've started a thread on this subject few weeks ago.
    Somebody suggested to add some options in xorg.conf.
    I did so but it didn't work!

    The problem is still there: the monitor goes blank at list once a week.
    I solve the problem by a CTRL+ALT+F1 and then CTRL+ALT+F7.
    After that everything is back to normal.

    Strange! My videocard is a radeon too!

    	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    EndSection
    
    Section "InputDevice"
    	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    	Driver      "kbd"
    	Option	    "XkbModel" "pc105"
    	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us+inet"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Device"

    	Driver      "radeon"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Screen"

    Question

    Somebody suggested to me add in xorg.conf the section ServerFlags but this doesn't seem to solve the problem!

    I have experienced the same problem with a radeon 9800 128Mbit. I noticed in messages that the following is being logged when the display goes into standby:

    Jan 10 14:02:58 localhost acpid: client connected from 2624[0:0]
    Jan 10 14:02:59 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
    Jan 10 14:02:59 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 8x mode
    Jan 10 14:02:59 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 8x mode
    Jan 10 14:02:59 localhost kernel: [drm] Loading R300 Microcode
    Jan 10 14:03:16 localhost gconfd (root-2961): starting (version 2.20.1), pid 2961 user 'root'

    The last entry happens when I switch between consoles using CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+ALT+F7. I'm running Fedora 8.

    I have created a bug report under Bug 428328: Screen enters standby randomly
