Thank you Michel for this new fix. Unfortunately, this one does not work on my computer at all.
With the previous patch, the problem seemed to have been fixed, but wasn't completely fixed as my computer couldn't be woken up when two screens were used on my radeon card (it works so far with only one screen connected). With the newest patch, even when only one screen is connected to the graphics card, the computer cannot be woken up anymore after the screen goes to sleep. Are those patches so different ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577170 Title: [solved] screen cannot be turned back on after being switched off after some time of inactivity Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati: New Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I did a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04 on my old dell computer in which there is an ati radeon X1300 graphics card. Whenever the screen turns off due to inactivity, it cannot be woken up by moving the mouse or by hitting a key. When I kill the Xorg process via ssh with another computer, the screen then comes to life again and I can log back in. When I remove the graphic card from the computer and use the built in graphic card instead, the bug doesn't occur. So I guess it is related to the radeon driver. Oddly enough, there is no problem waking the screen when I type "xset -display :0.0 dpms force off" in a terminal. Moreover typing gnome- screensaver-command -a in a terminal turns my screen off and after typing this line, the screen can be woken up by moving the mouse or by hitting a key. I'm confused.
