Michel, this patch seems to work quite well, but still showing some strange behaviour. To sum up, with the new patch : - with one or two screens used, when the screens goes off after some time of inactivity, they can be woken up by moving the mouse. - when two screens are used, from time to time, the screen connected via the VGA port of the graphics card does not goes off. (Its light dims, the screen goes black and then shows the login page again, the dvi-connected screen staying off until I move the mouse). With only one screen used (the dvi one), this behaviour does not appear until now. - Using the ubuntu screen selector, from time to time, when I change from two screens to one screen, the screen goes black only showing the mouse arrow. I have to go to tty1 then press ctrl alt f7 to see the normal screen again. Once, doing this, even the keyboard and the mouse stopped responding. - During the make process of the driver (with the patch), I still get the same warning : radeon_drm_queue.c: In function ‘radeon_drm_queue_alloc’: radeon_drm_queue.c:95:9: warning: return makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] return NULL;

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. --- .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: virtualbox, 5.0.18, 4.4.0-24-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.18, 4.4.0-28-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: No GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
