surprised this afternoon when, while the installation of gnome2 was working, I think it was building GCC 4.4 and friends, the HP 2010i LCD monitor I use on the machine appeared to lose the input to its DVI port. The HD activity light was still flickering so I let it continue and waited a hour or so for it to quit indicating activity before I pressed the reset button.

Sounds like the video card went into power save. Pressing a shift key might have brought it back.

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this or, if a PR is necessary against the Xorg radeon driver.

It's not clear whether you were running in the console or X. If X wasn't even installed yet, the radeon driver could not have been at fault.
