I observer two additional phenomena on the same computer:

* Screensaver doesn't turn on. Screen just blinks when screensaver should be activated.
* When the power cord is detached, the screen goes black. I assume that the driver tries to lower the backlight, however I'm not sure whether the laptop has this functionality at all.

Is it possible that they have the same root cause?

Please see drm related kernel messages from the latest kernel. Is it OK that KMS is disabled?

Screensaver and power management functions worked properly with Jaunty. This is regression potential.

After upgrading to kernel 2.6.31-11 the screensaver works properly, however the screen still goes black when unplugging the power cord.
