** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Been running Lucid in a separate partition from my 9.10 since Beta
  release. The X team has been trying to fix a screen blanking bug
  (reported) which results in a blank (though lit) screen lockup if I
  close the lid and reopen it. which was introduced in 9.04 just two weeks
  prior to the release of 9.10..
  
  The developers finally, a week ago (~April 13) started to address this
  problem. The screen would blank but restore itself imperfectly (all
  icons and menu item are blank, but I can see the menu outlines as well
  as text in my Chrome browser, but I need to log out and back in to
  regain screen normalcy.
  
  At the same time, I noticed that 3d graphics was almost immediately
  failing and screen was reverting to 2d. Attempting to turn on Compiz
  resulted in the message "driver not found". The update on Saturday the
  17 with some more Xorg driver patches and a new kernal 2.6.32-21
  resulted in a blank screen after the new Ubutnu orange logo comes up
  with the 5 (?) red progress dots filled below it. The screen then blanks
  and then all disk activity ceases.
  
  This is where the login menu is supposed to show up.
  
  I can boot perfectly in failsafe graphics mode.

  Twiddling with the safe graphics mode and trying to start X manually
  results in a blank screen the same as a normal boot.
