Running on a Jaunty Jackalope daily builds from a couple of days after
the beta was released I am unable to resume from sleep and hibernation.
It seems most of the process goes fine but when the gray password box is
shown there is an error. I can see the box and the brighter field where
I am supposed to enter my password but it seems frozen in the middle of
initializing because it has no distinct border (the text box looks
disabled). It seems that it doesn't even respond to keyboard input
because ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't do anything either (yes I activated
this function already).

I cannot see anything strange in the log files but I am also not sure
what to look for and where but I'd be happy to post if you give me
indication on what to check.

Regards,
Kristofer

Update 2009-04-26
I now think I know what causes this problem. I installed from from scratch with the final release of Jaunty and at first it seems the problem had disappeared until I activated the proprietary graphics driver for my ATI card to be able to use desktop effects such as Compiz and AWN. Now the problem has reappeared and it seems it also causes some other problems:

- The screen switcher (on the integrated keyboard) button no longer works, without the driver it correctly switches between external/laptop and cloned screens when I press this button. With the driver installed the screen only goes blank for a second before returning in the same mode as previously.
- Setting resolution etc. in Display Preferences gets generally unreliable and when I start it with a second screen connected hangs while using ~100% CPU of one core. Without external screen connected (VGA - I havent tried DVI) it works fine to start it and change resolution.
- Some times the screen goes blank when games through wine change the resolution.

The graphics card is 512MB ATI Radeon HD 3670 and I can't find any more
details for the driver except the name in the proprietary drivers app:
"ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver".

If you need any further information, let me know, I just want get this
to work as soon as possible...
