** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg My laptop screen (I'm using a Toshiba Satellite, I'm not sure which version) randomly went blank for around half a second, then turned back on again; a message was displayed in the notification area from gnome-power-manager, as follows: "Session active, not inhibited, screen idle. If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor. Please see http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ for more information." (Expected behavior is no screen blanking, and no notification message.) The blog post listed implies that the message in question appears immediately after gnome-power-manager has worked around a known X bug, and that the error should be reported upstream. However, the comments to the blog also imply that the patches in question have been applied to Ubuntu's X server already (I'm running X version 1.6.4); so it's also possible the bug is in gnome-power-manager causing a spurious notification (although that doesn't explain the screen going blank), or maybe even somewhere else affecting both components. This problem's happened exactly twice to me, seemingly for no reason (ugh intermittent bugs); the only unusual thing I was doing restoring from hibernation, rather than rebooting as usual. Sorry I don't really have much more of an idea of what's going on; if more information's needed, ask and I'll try to provide it.
