I'm not sure what the problem could be; all I know is that randomly, 
while I'm working on the desktop, my monitor goes dark and shows an 
"Input Not Supported" message.
    

This has been happening to me as well on F8. I just hadn't gotten around
to reporting it yet. FC1 through F7 were fine on this box, so it
definitely looks like something F8 specific.

I don't get the "Input Not Supported" message, but I suspect that is
simply due to a different monitor. What I do see is the screen goes
black, and the power LED on the monitor flickers every few seconds, the
same way it does when the monitor switches resolutions/refresh rates.

I can switch to a different console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 or whatever), then back
to my desktop (Ctrl-Alt-F7) and everything is fine, no need to reboot,
or restart X, or anything like that.

BTW, I also have a Radeon 9200 card (which you mentioned in a later
email). I am *not* using the ATI drivers.

I do see some interesting stuff in my Xorg.0.log, but there are no
timestamps in that log (why not???) which makes it hard to separate out
the different occurrences. I've appended a line to the file so I will
know where to look next time it happens.

Basically I get a whole bunch of stuff that looks like this (but without
timestamps I'm not sure where to start the copy & paste, not sure how
useful this is to anyone):<redacted>
