the "invalid frame buffer" dmesg report got me here... same symptoms on intel graphics hardware (3 laptops), but *unable* to get a workable desktop without reboot. TTY 1-6 work OK, but TTY7 is stuck on blank screen, mouse cursor only. compiz --replace, metacity --replace etc don't work and all report various error messages when attempted.
i would call this a critical bug -- it renders the system completely unoperable. my parents know enough to "hold down the power button to force the computer to turn off." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in 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 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
