Happened to me again, also; I had the lid closed on the laptop and Transmission running full screen, and it was closed for perhaps 10-15 minutes. I was able to restart X with ctrl-alt-bkspace. This seems consistant with comments up thread that disabling sync_to_vblank only minimizes the occura

FWIW: Sean Fenton's advice about disabling sync_to_vblank in gconf- editor seems to have done the trick: I just left my laptop on overnight with Transmission running (which was a recipe to activate the bug) and it came back no problem. The key location is: /apps/compiz-1/plugins/opengl/screen0/

Oh, and after all of my comments and troubleshooting, I never mentioned specifically what version of Natty I was running! 32bit Natty Narwhal 11.04, fresh install from a burned ISO downloaded on 4/28/11 (IE, the actual release verison ,not an RC or beta). -- You received this bug notification b

I think it may also have something to do with the screen locking: I had my laptop sitting, screensaver disabled via the screen saver control panel and in both the AC and battery profiles (the machine was running on AC power at the time), and I was running the Transmission bittorrent client. I ope

One other oddity: I just had my machine lock up despite having deactivated the screensaver. The lid on my laptop was closed for approx 2 hours, and I was running the Transmission bittorrent client minimized. The power setting to blank the screen may be to blame, since the gnome-screensaver proce

More info: after several tries, with only the Unity desktop running and letting the machine sit for approx 20 minutes with the lid closed, the screen kept flickering between the unlock screen and the blank desktop. I ran a ps -eaf from a virtual termial and saw a line related to the lock screen, b

Additional note: Switching to the Blank screensaver did not make a difference, though it seems to be correlated to having the lid of my laptop closed for approx 20 minutes, and it is more noticable if I have things running onscreen when it happens. Manually killing gnome-screensaver and compiz do
