Random Screen Blank on startup all the Time.

[Christopher Stone]

This option is already disabled and it happens to me anyway.  I think
this is actually some kind of ACPI bug in the kernel itself.  I
restarted X today, and again it happend.  3 monitor shutdowns about 20
minutes apart.  After that, everything is back to normal.
