I had the same problem after some X server updates in Ubuntu 12.04. The screen went black ( in fact in white color) after I reopened the screen lid.
This is how I solved it. In synaptic, I can see the version of xserver- xorg-core is 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.6. I choose "Force version" and downgrade it to 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10. Then there is no problem anymore. (BTW, I use the latest verion of compiz and there is no problem). I am using Thinkpad W520 with latest nvidia-current driver installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966744 Title: Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended (though the mouse still moves/changes cursor) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/966744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
