A hypothetical correlation of blackouts and log entries is most
likely bogus.  Logs of X are unfortunately not time stamped.
I do not think I can find anything of that sort for what I am
observing _right now_ with F9 installation. The gist of the issue
is that a monitor signal from time to time seems to disappear,
without any observable reason, for a short few seconds and this was
not happening at all some years ago.

I have doubts about real changes in this area but by any means open
a new bug.
