@Ben

Yes, there is a workaround.

1) Add "acpi=off" (without the quotes characters) to kernel line in
Grub. It should end like this: .... acpi=off quiet splash

2)Edit /etc/modules and add a new line: "apm power_off=1"

I'm still getting the screen suddenly go blank from time to time, but I
restore it by pressing an arrow key or by touching the touchpad. No data
is lost.
