You can improve the situation by installing xautolock and xdotool. Using these two tools you can have the mouse move every x minutes of no activity. 5 days with no black screen of death!
e.g. run the following in a terminal window and the task is put in the background: xautolock -time 1 -locker "xdotool mousemove 10 10" & -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958279 Title: FGLRX DPMS support totally broken, fails to wake up the monitor after putting it to sleep.
