Public bug reported: Using linux 2.6.32 radeon KMS, I have frequently outages, showing a blank screen for like one second. It keeps coming back, without any log file entry, as if nothing had happened. Installing the linux 2.6.33 mainline package (plus missing firmware file) fixes this issue completely.
