Two choices:

1. Suspend the machine - this sometimes brings it back when you unsuspend.

2. Keep the machine plugged into AC power - this problem doesnt seem to happen 
in that situation.

Someone gave me a tip today on the RHL9 list that may also work:

When the machine blanks out, hit the Fn-F3 button a couple of times. This 
kills the backlight and turns it back on again, and just *might* bring the 
machine back to life. I haven't tried this yet (can't risk a discruption 
right now), so if you try it, let me know please!
