The screen blanks after BIOS, flickers a few times, and then plymouth dies, leaving the system in an inconsistent state. You may or may not see the Plymouth boot splash graphics.
Problem: Black screen after resume:- Typical scenario is "use a laptop docked with lid closed, only the external screen is active, suspend, take the laptop, open it somewhere"... which leads to "no screen active". To debug this problem, check if gnome-settings-daemons is getting a signal that the display configuration has changed, by running xtrace against it, and look for a RRScreenChangeNotify event when resuming the machine. If that signal is being sent, then it indicates a possible bug in g-s-d. Otherwise, it suggests a bug in either X or (more likely) the kernel which is not causing the signal to be emitted to begin with. Problem: Lockup When Closing Lid with Intel Graphics There is a long known issue with the -intel driver where pipe A/B mixups can cause hangs at the point where the lid is closed. The good news is that it is easily quirkable. In general this is most often seen with newer hardware, because older hardware either has already gotten a quirk or doesn't need one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349943 Title: Screen blinks randomly on external monitor Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Hardware: Asus F8Va laptop (Core 2 Duo P8600, ATI HD3650, 1440x900) OS: Ubuntu 9.04 beta x64 (Wubi installation inside Windows Vista Home Premium x64 SP1) External monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM, 1920x1200), connected via HDMI, blinks several times a minute, randomly. When there is no user activity, it doesn't seem to blink however. By "blinking" I mean, the monitor goes off and then on, like it usually does when it changes resolution, only resolution doesn't change. Also, when I move windows around, thin horizontal stripes flash in fraction of second from time to time (only on external monitor). Screen configuration: Samsung 24": On Resolution: 1920x1200 Refresh rate: 60 Hz Rotation: Normal Laptop 14": On Resolution: 1440x900 Refresh rate: 67 Hz Rotation: Normal Mirror screens: unchecked Relative position of screens (physical and in Display Preferences) laptop screen below the external screen, centred.
