In my case the consoles work as expected at boot up and I can use them,
but after some period of time after I have been using the desktop when I
press <CTRL> F? my monitor goes off and when I switch back to the
desktop it comes on again.
I'm using "ati" in my xorg.conf with the built in video output on this
box. If I don't use "ati" in the driver section of my xorg.conf the
monitor goes off at almost anytime, desktop or console.
