I've retested in Lucid. My display now reappears after opening my laptop screen.
However, the mouse pointer is not visible though I can still click on things. As before, pressing Fn+F7 (LCD/CRT toggle) fixes things and my mouse cursor reappears. This time I only press it once and the cursor appears (and it seems like the top and bottom gnome panels quickly refresh/flash). Switching to a text mode tty and then back to X also gets my mouse cursor to reappear. Just as a reminder, my laptop is configured in Ubuntu not to sleep on lid close. I upgraded to Lucid beta1 a while ago and have the latest apt updates. My kernel is Linux 2.6.32-19-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 31 17:46:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux. It's been a while since I last looked at this..should I still try testing the suggestion in #34? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- [i915gm] karmic 2.6.31-2 and -3 lid closing blacks screen until reboot on thinkpad r52 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
