** Description changed: I did a fresh install off ubuntu 16.04 on my old dell computer in which there is an ati radeon X1300 graphics card. Whenever the screen goes off due to inactivity, it cannot be woken up by moving the mouse or hit a key. The same ubuntu 16.04 installed on a laptop with intel graphics card doesn't show this problem, so I first guessed it was related to the radeon driver.

I'm confused. It seems not related to gnome-screensaver, but rather to the way ubuntu turns the screen off.
