Yes sorry, I don't have hardware to reproduce this with at the moment
since it was a company machine. When I do again I'll let you know.

Title:
  lockup when xrandr changes display

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  To reproduce, use two monitors.

  1. Use xrandr to turn 1 ON and 2 OFF
  2. go to screensaver/lock screen
  3. Use xrandr to turn 1 OFF and 2 ON  (i have a udev rule for this, a keyboard shortcut would also work)
  4. The lock dialog can not be seen.  Typing in the password blindly does not help.  Using xrandr to turn 1 ON and 2 OFF again does not change this. Switching to a VT and killing gnome-screensaver is the only way to log in.

  
  This may be a duplicate from another bug, if someone did not realize xrandr interaction was causing the problem.


  my udev rule:

  $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/98-video.rules

  SUBSYSTEM=="drm", \
  ACTION=="change", \
  DEVNAME=="/dev/dri/card0", \
  RUN+="/usr/local/bin/toggle-display :0"

  and the helper script:

  $ cat /usr/local/bin/toggle-display
  #!/bin/sh

  test -z "$1" || export DISPLAY=$1

  if xrandr|grep "VGA1 connected" 2>&1 >/dev/null; then
      ON=VGA1
      OFF=LVDS1
  else
      ON=LVDS1
      OFF=VGA1
  fi

  xrandr --output $ON --auto --primary --output $OFF --off
