I have one of the above, (1002:0791f) running under slackware64-current kernel 3.14.18 with the kernel console screensaver turning the screen hard on for a screensaver :-/.
X runs on Mesa-10.2.6, Mesa-10.2.6-compat32, & xf86-video-ati-7.4.0. All recent, good stuff. No problems there except artifacst postiong in forms like this forum :-). But the box boots to runlevel 3(multiuser console mode) and THERE the "screensaver" turns the screen fairly hard on.
setterm -blank gives me a white screen
setterm powerdown, & powersave options are ignored
setterm -inversescreen gives me a weird inverse screen. but then, setterm -blank just makes it whiter :-o!
The box is a HP6715S with RS690/SB600, twincore turion 2Ghz, 3G ram. This all worked fine on the last system (slackware-13.37, kernel 3.2.29)
I reckon it must be a kernel thing, as X is not invoked. But I am slow to file a kernel bug, and slower still to sign up to the LKML!
