[Bug 966744] Re: Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended (though the mouse still moves/changes cursor)

 

Hello everyone,

I have also been experiencing this bugs for quite some time now.

I just wanted to add to Eric Piel's comment, as I too experienced this
bug in a different situation, i.e. not after suspending my laptop.

I have a Dell Vostro, with intel graphics.

I sometimes use "xset dpms force off" to turn off my screen without
locking it nor suspending. Although I cannot reproduce the bug at will,
this is what I did:

1) Run "xset dpms force off"
2) Wait 10 minutes until the screen locks automatically
3) Type something on the keyboard to wake up the computer
4) Result: Screen turns on (the laptop was NOT suspended), but it is not blank, I can see my desktop, but the mouse/keyboard can't interact with it. The mouse changes to a cursor in the center of the screen, where the space to input the password should be.

This is, hence, very similar in the result, as the mouse changes to a
cursor, but the screen cannot be unlocked. (I did try to put my password
to no avail).

Hope this helps to tackle this down. Sorry if it isn't too clear, let me know if I should explain again anything.
Cheers
