[Bug 862326] [NEW] screensaver not visible after resume from suspend on multihead

 

Public bug reported:

I use a Thinkpad x201s with Intel drivers. When I suspend and resume
without an external monitor, on resume gnome-screensaver works correctly
(the dialog is shown, and I can enter my password).

When I plug an external monitor into the VGA port and use Displays to
set the laptop LCD as 'off' and the external monitor as 'on' (so that
only the external monitor is used), when I suspend and then resume, the
password dialog is (sometimes) briefly displayed on the LCD, and then
both screens go blank. I can see and move a cursor on the external
monitor, but I can't see the password prompt, though it will receive
keyboard input as I can blindly enter my password and it'll unlock, but
after unlocking there is still just a black screen (if I move my mouse,
I can see that it unlocked though because I can see the cursor change as
it moves over my open windows). Typically I must 'Ctrl+Alt+F1' and
'Ctrl+Alt+F7' back in order to see the password prompt properly
displayed.
