** Description changed:

- Summery: I'm having a hard time tracing this down.  I updated to Kubuntu
- 16.04 (from Kubuntu 15.10 - that was using the Linux Crimson 15.12
- driver) a couple days ago on my notebook (HP Pavilion, A10-8700P APU),
- and ever since I've been having random black screens.  I started
- debugging the driver, then thought it might be a DPMS issue (it's not -
- I have DPMS fully disabled currently), and now I'm back to debugging the
- driver.  I don't have any remnants of the former closed Crimson display
- driver and never had an xorg.conf file (I made a small one that I'm
- using at the moment consisting of only a server layout to ensure screen
- savers, DPMS, etc are all off).  The Black screen can happen any time
- from the login screen until hours later.  I can ssh into the system to
- shut it down.  And just discovered that if I unplug the system from it's
- power brick, I can close the lid - the system will goto sleep.  When I
- flip the screen back up, the system wakes up and the screen works again
- for 1-2 minutes.  I don't see any errors in the log files (well, outside
- some nasty looking ACAPI errors in dmesg).
+ I'm having a hard time tracing this down.  I updated to Kubuntu 16.04

+ couple days ago on my notebook (HP Pavilion, A10-8700P APU), and ever
+ since I've been having random black screens.
  
- Steps to reproduce: boot system and use normally or simply leave system
- alone.  Blank screen will happen any time after x comes up.
+ I started debugging the driver, then thought it might be a DPMS issue
+ (it's not - I have DPMS fully disabled currently), and now I'm back to

- Expected results: Screen doesn't blank unless a screen saver or power
- saver kicks in.

+ and never had an xorg.conf file (I made a small one that I'm using at
