@Ben Yes, there is a workaround.
1) Add "acpi=off" (without the quotes characters) to kernel line in Grub. It should end like this: .... acpi=off quiet splash 2)Edit /etc/modules and add a new line: "apm power_off=1" I'm still getting the screen suddenly go blank from time to time, but I restore it by pressing an arrow key or by touching the touchpad.
