    Question Monitor keeps going blank for a second

    I've got Ubuntu 9.10 running on my desktop, with two monitors. On one of them, it keeps going blank for about half a second. I can't tell why it's doing it, but it seems to do such more often when I'm using my computer (as opposed to it being idle). In older versions of Ubuntu, this never happened. Any suggestions?

    Cool Re: Monitor keeps going blank for a second

    Nvidia, ATI or Intel graphics?
    If at first you don't succeed - just buy the company and tell them to make the one you want.

    Ati. It's an X1900 All in Wonder.

    Things that trigger this seem to be opening a window or if a window hint gets set to urgent.

    It also seems to happen when I pan an image in Gimp, so I'm thinking it might have to do with specific graphics operations? It never has done this in Windows.
