This is probably not your issue, but I know there is a bug
(that I have never reported) where if you hit a key at the
exact instant that screen blanking starts, then the screen
will never unblank.
And like your symptom, the system is still working correctly.
My guess is that there is a race condition like:
- the blanking timer expires
- the screen blanks
- a keystroke is processed,
- get a copy of the 'screen is
blanked' flag
- set the 'screen is blanked' flag
- clear 'screen is blanked' flag
- test 'screen is blanked' COPY if
set unblank the screen
That may not be the case, but that's what I've seen.
I also have a dimming configured and I've seen a similar case of when
I hit a key at the exact instant that the screen dims, then my screen
is permanently in dim mode and keystrokes can't wake it.
