This has been happening to me as well on F8. I just hadn't gotten around to reporting it yet. FC1 through F7 were fine on this box, so it definitely looks like something F8 specific. I don't get the "Input Not Supported" message, but I suspect that is simply due to a different monitor. What I do see is the screen goes black, and the power LED on the monitor flickers every few seconds, the same way it does when the monitor switches resolutions/refresh rates. I can switch to a different console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 or whatever), then back to my desktop (Ctrl-Alt-F7) and everything is fine, no need to reboot, or restart X, or anything like that. BTW, I also have a Radeon 9200 card (which you mentioned in a later email). I am *not* using the ATI drivers. I do see some interesting stuff in my Xorg.0.log, but there are no timestamps in that log (why not???) which makes it hard to separate out the different occurrences. I've appended a line to the file so I will know where to look next time it happens. Basically I get a whole bunch of stuff that looks like this (but without timestamps I'm not sure where to start the copy & paste, not sure how useful this is to anyone): (II) RADEON(0): [RESUME] Attempting to re-init Radeon hardware.
