The screen does black out after a few mins. Another interesting thing about my other rig that didn't drop at all is that I unplugged the monitor cable from the GPU so I could use it on my Asrock H81 board that do need a monitor plugged in to start. Don't know if that has anything to with it, but... let me do some test about that monitor being powered off by X scenario....
No wonder I didn't experience the drop, my rig has no monitor connected.
the drop also happens on some of my rigs without a monitor attached. all rigs running 290 and 290x cards.
run "aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f".
add these 4 lines into /etc/rc.local before exit 0
export DISPLAY=:0
xset s off
xset -dpms
xset s noblank
Just in case it's not already executable, run:
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
I have sent a 30 Darkcoin Bounty to cryptogretzky by myself.
As I only have 3 r9 290 I'll make 3 month to recover that bounty with my increased hasrate, but I'll be in peace with this bug.
If any-one want to pay me back a part of that bounty, here is my address to share the cost.
