I have a similar issue where sometimes when I come back to my W510 thinkpad laptop (nouveau drivers, U10.10) I see a black screen with a mouse icon. There is no screen-saver lockout screen. System is functional but cannot use screen. This happens about once a week and is very annoying. Let me

Hi, I have noticed following behavior regarding gnome-screensaver and gnome-power-manager on my laptop. If I switch from internal display to external one and then close the lid of the laptop then screensaver only shows blank screen instead of selected theme. If I open the lid while screensaver

I'm having the same problem, using one nVidia card with two monitors (laptop monitor + external LCD screen connected through d-sub contact), running Ubuntu 7.10. It has always worked before, but today, the laptop screen goes black after gnome-screensaver starts, and stays black. I can only see

To add some more detail. I can change the two devices in my xorg file from 'nvidia' to 'nv' and the problem goes away (with everything else in the xorg exactly the same). Obviously this is not an acceptable solution as I lose 3D hardware acceleration. -- Lock Screen blanks screen instead of

A few other observations, gnome-screensaver only blanks the primary monitor - the other two monitors are not blanked and continue to function normally. Even though the primary monitor is blanked, I can still see the mouse cursor when it moves across that monitor. I don't know if it is related,

Here's a workaround: I restarted X, then killed gnome-screensaver. At this point I could start gnome-screensaver-preferences, and so switched from 'Random' screensaver to 'Blank Screen'. From this point, ctrl-alt-l started the screensaver, and it worked on all three monitors, and went to the
