Description:
At random times, the screen will turn off, then turn back on after some stimuli (moving mouse/hitting a key on keyboard). And sometimes it will restart like Ctrl+Alt+Bksp was hit to restart x-server after that. This is the error in dmesg after gdm restarts when I type dmesg | gdm into terminal. [code]** (gdm-binary:4887): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager: Connection ":1.85" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.DisplayManager" due to security policies in the configuration file ** (gdm-binary:4887): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out[/code] Additional info: * gdm 2.28.1-1 * 2.6.31-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz Steps to reproduce: |

The work around is to downgrade gdm.
Any way, as far as I can tell, any combination of a letter followed by # and then pressing return sets this bug off for me.
