Details

Description:

I've got a Turks XT and the gnome power management timeout causes my screen to turn off but it often does not come back (meaning moving the mouse and/or typing on the keyboard have no effect to wake the screen). Attempting to switch to a terminal from out of X by using ctrl-alt-fx does not seem to enable the display either but I am able to login (without seeing anything) and reboot the box.

Relevant output from lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Turks XT [Radeon HD 6670/7670]

Additional info:
xorg-server 1.15.0-5
xf86-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1

I've attached my Xorg.0.log

Not sure if any extra info would be contained other logs (and not sure where to find them) but I would be happy to follow up if needed.

Steps to reproduce:
Start Computer
Login to GDM
Leave and let computer idle
Return and try to wake computer
Screen is now unresponsive
This task depends upon

Not really sure where this should go, just guessing by tagging it to the DDX.

We've had many updates (kernel, mesa, Xorg-server, Gnome) - has this been solved?

If not try a generix (vesa) ddx driver and try with DRI disabled to get closer what component causes the issue.

Is it better with xf86-video-ati 1:7.4.0-1 ?

Please also test xf86-video-ati-1:7.4.0-2 (in testing) which include a patch to fix some DPMS breakage
