[Bug 1575651] Re: X stops responding to input on power saving mode

 

** Description changed:

  Once my session has been locked and the screen off, Xserver stops responding to input ( I can still move the cursor). I can re-activate it by typing in a tty "xset dpms force on".
  If I just lock the screen all works fine.
  If I just turn off the monitor (xset dpms force off) all works fine.
  
  The same system (kubuntu 16.04 64bit) on different hardware (nvidia) has
  no problem.
  
- Symptoms:
- After waking the screen from power saving/screensaver, the primary display wakes but X stops responding to input (the mouse cursor can still move, but clicking has no effect). Secondary display does not wake.
- No errors in dmesg
- 
- Frequency/conditions:
- Occurs almost every time the screen enters power saving + locked (possibly DPMS issue?)
- 
- VGA: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Kabini [Radeon HD 8400 / R3
- Series] (APU AMD Athlon 5350)
+ The issue does NOT occur when running this kernel:
+ - linux-image-4.6.0-996-generic (4.6.0-996.201604262201)
