Bug description:
On request, moved this bug report from bug 123283. Which covers very
similar symptoms on ATI hardware.
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Here's what happened on my laptop in Hardy:
- Xubuntu Hardy beta live CD
- Insert CD, boot to desktop
- wait several minutes with no mouse activity
- screen goes completely blank
- move mouse
- screen came back
- wait few minutes
- screen completely blank. While the screen is completely black, I can see
feint detail on the screen (like the back-light is off but the screen still has
stuff on it).
- move mouse. When I move the mouse the back-light comes on but the screen
is black apart from the mouse pointer.
- mouse pointer appeared but screen still blank, mouse responds to movement
and cursor changes when hovering over a text field for example, computer
appears to respond to input (clicking etc.)
- VT switch to terminal 1
- VT switch to terminal 7
- screen came back to normal.
In Gutsy, I cannot VT switch but if I ssh into the box and temporarily
start a new X server and then kill it, that restores the original
screen (possibly because it causes a VT switch).
