Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop - Screen goes blank

Rukie

I just finished installing gentoo on my dell inspiron 8200, and everything seems to work fine, except for the fact that when the screen goes blank (after 10-20 minutes?) the screen wont' come back on no matter what I do. I have everything enabled in the kernel for acpi and apm.. Any suggestions?

I get the same thing on my Dell Latitude d810, so I disabled that feature...xscreensaver do not turn blank the monitor. It keeps the screen-saver on all the time. When I close the lid I have a acpi script event to turn off the monitor using radeontool off/on. By the way I have a ATI x600 card.

I have an nvidia card, and i've figured out it only happens when the lid gets closed...
