[Rui Peixoto <1127439@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Added Xorg log and Unity log (gathered from a tty with "unity --replace >
unity.log 2>&1").

I have reverted compiz package from 1:0.9.8.6-0ubuntu1
to 1:0.9.8.4-0ubuntu2 and I still get the black screens.
Also I would like to notice that I don't always get the black screens after
unlocking, but it is quite frequent (8/10 times).

> Bug description:
>   After unlock the screen on a dual monitor setup both screens stay
>   completely black, and I can't access the desktop (mouse cursor is
>   visible and I can move it). This only happens when using an external
>   monitor (connected through HDMI).
>
>   Expected behavior: after providing the password to the unlock screen, I
> should access the desktop;
>   What happens: both screens stay black and I can't access the desktop.
>
>   How to reproduce:
>   1- Having a laptop with an external monitor connected (no mirroring)
>   2- Lock screen
>   3- Wait > 5 seconds
>   4- Touch the mouse/keyboard: the unlocking window appears on one screen
> (the other stays black)
>   5- After typing the password both screens remain completely black
>
>   Tests in various desktop managers:
>   * Unity: screens stay black after unlocking;
>   * Cinnamon: works as expected (unlocking gets you to desktop);
>   * Gnome classic (fallback): same behavior as Unity;
>   * Gnome classic (no effects): works as expected.
>
>   I have also tested with xscreensaver on Unity and the screens stays
>   black. So the problem should be with Compiz.
