 Yes, it's strange. I thing there's some message (an error probably) on
 the screen just right before monitor's sleep mode, but it's too quick to
 read it :/


 And the RadeonHD driver seems pretty convinced that there are
 no displays attached.

 I've tried xrandr -q
 output: no devices


 I still didn't get an Xorg.conf from you, it might show something.

 See attached file.



 My only thought right nowis to try specifying some monitor info, like
 VertRefresh and HorizSync, and maybe use:
 Option ModeValidation NoEdidModes
 Option   UseEdid false

 or some such.

 http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Xorg_.22can.27t_see.22_the_resolutions_your_monitor_supports

 Thanks for the links. I was experimenting with those settings, but
 resulting in monitor's sleep mode only so far...



 Anyway...

 I'm thinking about switching to gNewSense (everything is working fine
 there), I'll try Debian again in a month or so.. with better luck maybe :)

 I just wanted to finish some work on packages I was co-maintaining
 before leaving Debian :/

I don't know, really strange stuff.

It will not actually help your problem, but  I thought I would mention that you
an take the files and module sections out of your xorg.conf among
other stuff.


Wait, it does look like extraneous 0s in section ServerLayout
Screen  0  Screen0 0 0


Here is what my Xorg.conf looks like:
Section Device
Identifier  Intel
#Option  AccelMethod UXA
EndSection

Section Monitor
Identifier  Monitor
Option  PreferredMode 1600x1200
EndSection

Section Screen
Identifier  Default Screen
Monitor Monitor
EndSection

Section ServerLayout
Identifier  Default Layout
screen  Default Screen
EndSection

Section ServerFlags
Option  DontZap   off
EndSection


Cheers,
