Lenovo W530

Close screen, and the machine locks.

No amount of keystrokes can unlock the screen - ctrl/alt/f1 does
nothing, neither does c/a/del, c/a/bkspc, reisub... nothing.

Oddly though - function key + spacebar will still cycle through the
backlight on the keyboard.


I see that this bug set to expire in 1 day if no further action takes
place...  I have already wiped 14.04 off my home machine because of all
the issues, and the laptop is next now more so than ever.  I would never
have bothered posting yet another bug report, but I saw another Lenove
W530 in this thread, and I figured maybe somebody will be able to at get
this issue fixed if it is hardware related... however, it was working
just fine a month ago, so who knows what's causing it now.

Title:
  Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpi

  On my Dell 640C laptop, my screen locks up black whenever I close the
  lid.

  Doesn't matter if I have it set to sleep/suspend, blank screen, or
  just no event. Whenever I close the lid, it locks up black and nothing
  short of restarting Gnome or rebooting can get my screen back.

  Thanks for any fixes/suggestions.
