Fedora 11 preview with updates, blank screen problem

I don't know to reproduce this problem. But it occurs randomly, mostly when I am typing.
The screen suddenly turn blank like running the "xset dpms force off", If I press the button or move mouse, it will come bright again.
My laptop is Thinkkpad X200 with Intel 4500HD graphic card.

Hi, well...I have the same problem, on Intel hardware as well, I have a Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, on a Toshiba A205, but in my case, the screen flashes to black randomly and only lasting one or two seconds, then coming back to normal...anybody else having this problem? Should I file a bug report?
I have a fully updated system as of 05/09/09 and a Linux 2.6.29.2-126.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon May 4 04:48:39 EDT 2009 i686.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for any grammar mystake, it's not my native language.

Same issue here on a Dell 630 with Quadro NVS 135M. Currently running 2.6.29.2-126, noticed it with previous kernels. Using TwinView and both screens cut off completely. Will see what happens when I turn screen dimming off in power settings.

I have the same problem - tested on the system below in my sig and also on a Nexlink D945GCCR and on a Dell 8400. No matter where I plug in the hard drive the screen powers off after like a minute. Is there some type of output or debugging I can provide?
